Article Abstract
The differential diagnosis of a tongue mass containing calcified bodies includes a phlebolith associated with vascular lesions, such as hemangioma and vascular malformation, and diseases such as neoplasm, osseous choristoma and hypercalcemic states, including hyperparathyroidism. The appearance of the calcified bodies on plain radiographs may help to differentiate these entities. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography are also useful for differentiating these soft tissue lesions. We report a 40-year-old man with a small mass containing a calcified body in the tip of tongue. The mass was surgically resected and histologically evaluated, confirming the diagnosis of phlebolith. Our case was a rare phlebolith that did not involve a vascular lesion.

Introduction Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), which is the most common cancer type in head and neck cancers, remains a serious health problem because of its high mortality. Treatment of OSCC is mainly performed with a combination of surgery and anticancer agents. However, despite the recent development of anticancer agents, the clinical outcome of OSCC has yet to be improved.

To investigate the relationship between the Palatopharyngeal Arch Staging System（PASS） and the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea（OSA）, as well as the patterns of airway collapse, while further assessing its clinical applicability. A total of 98 patients diagnosed with OSA at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Shenzhen University Affiliated Shenzhen Hospital, were recruited for this study. Data collected included basic demographic information, oropharyngeal laryngoscopy videos, results from awake laryngoscopy Muller tests, and indicators from sleep respiratory monitoring.
