Sublingual Gland Sialolithiasis: A Case Report
Sublingual gland sialolithiasis is rare and may be misdiagnosed as submandibular gland sialolithiasis, which is more common. It is important to preoperatively determine which gland is involved, because they require different surgical approaches. Computed tomography (CT) is useful for distinguishing…

Feature Reviews of the Molecular Mechanisms of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is rare in most parts of the world but endemic in southern Asia. Here, we describe the molecular abnormalities in NPC and point out potential molecular mechanisms for future therapy. This article provides a brief up-to-date review focusing on the molecular pathways of…
