Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...
Arteries of the Head and Neck01:26

Arteries of the Head and Neck

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Sarcomas are rare malignant neoplasms originating from mesodermal tissues.
  • They account for less than 1% of all body tumors.
  • Head and neck sarcomas represent 5-15% of adult sarcomas, predominantly affecting soft tissues (80%) compared to bone and cartilage (20%).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the available literature on sarcomas within the head and neck region.
  • To provide an overview of the epidemiology and common types of head and neck sarcomas.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of scientific articles and case studies.
  • Synthesis of data on sarcoma incidence, classification, and characteristics in the head and neck.

Main Results:

  • Commonly identified head and neck sarcomas include osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, fibrosarcoma, and angiosarcoma.
  • The majority of head and neck sarcomas occur in soft tissues.

Conclusions:

  • Head and neck sarcomas are uncommon but significant malignant neoplasms.
  • Understanding the diverse types and prevalence is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
