Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Head and neck cancer (HNSCC) is one of the most frequent malignancies and has an overall poor prognosis, with a 5-year survival rate of 50% and a rising incidence. At present, imaging modalities play an important role in tumor diagnosis and treatment response evaluation in daily clinical routine.

However, imaging modalities might not only provide information about tumor localization and possible metastatic sites but also provide information regarding tumor microstructure and could help in predicting treatment response for surgery or radiotherapy approaches.

There are numerous imaging possibilities, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography, each of which can further be analyzed by novel imaging techniques, such as texture analysis and radiomics approaches.

Therefore, with this Special Issue, we would like to focus on the role of imaging for diagnosis and treatment management purposes and the diagnostic capability of novel imaging analysis techniques in HNSCC. Papers regarding radiomics, treatment, and survival prediction are welcomed in this Special Issue to improve the important role of imaging modalities in HNSCC.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Hairy polyps, also known as dermoid polyps (DPs), are rare benign cystic lesions of bigerminal origin that may occur in several head and neck regions, including the oropharynx. Despite their benign histopathological nature, DPs may be life threatening, due to their upper airway location, and DPs represent one of the most unusual causes of respiratory distress during the neonatal period. In this paper, we describe a case of respiratory failure in a newborn with an oropharyngeal mass that was accidentally found during difficult intubation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detected a well-defined soft tissue pedunculated mass, arising from the left oropharynx wall, consistent with an oropharyngeal DP. The newborn had a prompt recovery after trans-oral mass removal. Our case underlines the importance of imaging in differential diagnosis of children’s respiratory distress, secondary to a variety of lesions within the region of the skull base or oropharynx. It allowed us to assess the origin of the lesion, as well as its relationship with the adjacent soft tissues, and to exclude intracranial extension, thus providing essential information for the surgical planning.
