Abstract

Soft palate tumors can be categorized as benign or malignant, with malignant tumors being more common than benign ones. Up to 55% of intraoral tumors are found on the palate; thus, they are known as palatal tumors. Many causative or supporting factors may contribute to the development of palatal tumors, such as the long-term use of tobacco and alcohol. A final diagnosis of a palatal tumor is typically achieved through histological examination. This paper aims to present a case involving a patient diagnosed with palatal fibrosarcoma. The patient, a 39-year-old woman, was diagnosed with palatal fibrosarcoma and underwent treatment consisting of Mass Extirpation and Palatoplasty. Relevant evidence and literature were gathered through searches conducted on PubMed, Medline, and manual research. In this specific case, the surgical approach to excise the palatal tumor was determined based on factors such as its size and location. The diagnosis is based on a combination of the patient's medical history, physical examination, and further clinical assessment. Treatment for palatal tumors primarily involves surgery aimedat completely removing the tumor tissue.

Abstract

Acute otitis media (AOM) is an inflammation of part or all of the middle ear mucosa, including the eustachian tube, mastoid antrum, and mastoid cells, occurring within less than three weeks, accompanied by local symptoms such as fever, pain, reduced hearing, and discharge. Several diseases that are risk factors for AOM include a history of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) and allergic rhinitis. This study aims to determine the relationship between URTI and allergic rhinitis with AOM at the ENT-KL Polyclinic of RSUDZA Banda Aceh from January 2022 to December 2023. This observational analytical research employs a cross-sectional design. The study utilized medical record data with total sampling techniques, resulting in a sample size of 2.178 people. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. The results indicated that 227 people (10,4%) experienced AOM, 448 people (20,6%) had URTI and 225 people (10,3%) had allergic rhinitis. The age characteristics of patients with the most ear disorders was 55-64 years, namely 409 people (18.8%), and the dominant gender was female, namely 1175 people (32.9%). The Chi-square test results for URTI and AOM showed a p-value of 0.033 (PR=1.35, 95% CI 1.02-1.79), indicating that there is a relationship between URTI and AOM. Similarly, the Chi-results for allergic rhinitis with AOM yielded a p-value of <0.001 (PR=2.26, 95% CI 1.69-3.02), suggesting a relationship between allergic rhinitis and AOM. It can be concluded that patients with URTI are approximately 1,35 times more likely to suffer from AOM, while patients with allergic rhinitis are about 2,26 times more likely to develop AOM.
