Ascher syndrome: clinical case care and treatment
We present a case report of a patient with Ascher Syndrome. It is a rare, benign disorder with few cases reported in the world. Clinically, it is an anomaly which may be either congenital or acquired, characterized by a triad: blepharochalasis, double lip (upper lip is involved more often than lower lip, although on occasion both may be involved), and nontoxic thyroid goiter. Surgical treatment may be indicated as it is a deformity that interferes with mastication and speech, and which might have aesthetic implications. (Source: Odontoestomatologia)

Case report of Basal cell adenocarcinoma of the parotid gland: clinicopathological and immunohistochemical study
The objective of this study is to identify the morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics that aid its diagnosis. A parotid tumor was resected in a 52-year-old patient; postoperative biopsy and immunostaining with Ki-67, CK19, p63 and α -smooth muscle actin were performed. The diagnosis was basal cell adenocarcinoma invading the tumor capsule, periglandular fat and lymph nodes. Immunolabeling with Ki-67, CK19, p63 and α -smooth muscle actin was positive. Subsequently, maxillary sinus metastasis was diagnosed. Given the morphological characteristics, elevated Ki-67 expression and metastasis, this is a malignant...

Skeletonized body identified by analysis of frontal sinus morphology and characteristics of osteosynthesis material: a forensic case report
This study reports a case of human identification by analyzing the morphology of the frontal sinuses and osteosynthesis material. In the anthropological assessment of skeletal remains a surgical plate used for osteosynthesis was detected in the periorbital regions. Relatives of the potential victim provided ante-mortem (AM) radiographs which revealed the presence of an osteosynthesis plate. Post-mortem (PM) imaging exams were performed to reproduce the AM data. Similarities were observed between the AM and PM radiographs, especially regarding the morphology of the frontal sinuses and the position and outline of the surgica...
