A correlation between age and Actinomyces in the adenotonsillar tissue of children.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of actinomyces in adenotonsillar disease, recurrent infections, or tonsillar hypertrophy in children. The study included 64 patients, ranging in age from 2 to 16 years, who had elective adenotonsillar surgery to treat either adenotonsillar hypertrophy (36 children) or recurrent adenotonsillitis (28 children). Adenotonsillar Actinomyces was present in 30 children (48%). No statistical significance was found between Actinomyces and recurrent adenotonsillitis or adenotonsillar hypertrophy. However, there was a statistically significant relationship identified between the presence of actinomycosis and age, with a greater occurrence of actinomycosis in children between 5 and 16 years old.

[Complete regression of a Warthin's tumor following the aspiration cytopuncture].

This paper reports a rare case of a 69-year-old man bearing a right parotid lump, measuring near 5 cm diameter, which diagnosis resulted a Warthin's tumor. The used procedure to reach the diagnosis was aspiration through a fine needle. Two months after the laboratory diagnosis--so within the preoperative term--we can corroborate the clinical and radiological missing of the growth. Review and analysis of etiologic and pathogenic mechanisms.

[Tonsillar hamartoma].

Reporting the case of a young woman, 25, with long lasting dysphagia. At examination a pediculated polypoid formation in the lower pole of the left amygdala is verified (3 x 2 cms). After removal, under local anesthesia, is diagnosed as an hamartomatous tonsillar polyp. Review of the literature, analysis of several etiopathogenical theories and differential diagnosis with other resembling amygdaline conditions.
