[Nasal acinar cell carcinoma：a case report].
Summary
A rare parotid gland tumor, acinar cell carcinoma, can present with unusual nasal symptoms. Surgical resection of this low-grade malignancy led to a good recovery in a 72-year-old patient.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Otolaryngology
Background:
- Acinar cell carcinoma is a rare, slow-progressing, low-grade malignant tumor originating from the parotid gland epithelium.
- Diverse tissue types and cell morphology make diagnosis challenging, increasing the risk of missed or incorrect diagnoses.
Observation:
- A 72-year-old patient presented with nasal congestion, bloody sputum, and olfactory loss, without prior surgery or trauma.
- CT and MRI scans indicated soft tissue occupation within the nasal cavity and sinuses.
Findings:
- Endoscopic resection of the nasal cavity and sinus mass was successfully performed under general anesthesia.
- Post-operative follow-up for 1 year showed no recurrence of the tumor.
Implications:
- This case highlights the importance of considering rare parotid gland tumors in the differential diagnosis of sinonasal masses.
- Successful surgical management resulted in complete resolution of nasal symptoms and good patient recovery.

01:24Nose and Nasal Cavity
11.7K
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

01:29Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula
3.1K
Oxygen therapy is critical to patient care, especially for those struggling with respiratory issues. This intervention increases the oxygen concentration in the lungs, enhancing the amount of oxygen transported to the body's tissues. One standard method of delivering supplemental oxygen is through a nasal cannula, a non-invasive device that provides low to medium oxygen concentrations.

1.6K
The human body requires oxygen to function, and when the natural process of respiration is hindered, external devices, including the following, are needed to help deliver this vital gas.
Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.
Oxygen percentage setting:...
