[Reconstruction of the mouth floor with nasolabial flap after cancer resection. Report of 81 cases].

The authors report functional results in a series of 81 patients with carcinoma of the floor of the mouth treated by surgical resection and reconstruction by nasolabial flap. The study confirms the literature concerning advantages and limits of such a flap. With regards to others techniques of reconstruction, nasolabial flap is still perfectly usefull in reconstruction of T2 T3 carcinomas of the floor of the mouth.

Adult

[Multiple localization and lymphatic involvement of papillary micro-carcinoma of the thyroid. Results of total thyroidectomy with bilateral lymph node excision. Apropos of 38 patients].

This study involved 38 patients with occult papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland treated by total thyroidectomy and bilateral prophylactic neck dissection. The histological results show the glandular multicentricity on either side, both in single nodule (65%) and in multinodular goiter (73.3%). High risk of cervical spreading clearly appears in papillary carcinoma (18.4% of the patients) even in these small foci (lower than 10 mm). Topography of involvement brings into prominence two main territories: paratracheal, mid and lower jugularly nodes (involved in 92.8% of the positive dissections).

Adolescent

[Thyroid trabecular carcinoma. A clinicopathological entity of poor prognosis? (author's transl)].

The records of 32 patients with trabecular carcinomas of the thyroid gland were critically reviewed from a previously published serie of 138 thyroid cancers referred to the Centre Claudius Regaud, between 1952 and 1973. On the basis of clinico-pathological considerations, it seems possible to divide trabecular carcinomas into two groups. Pure trabecular carcinomas (moderately differenciated follicular carcinomas--WOH) which have a poor prognosis (5 years actuarial survival: 13%) related to high rate of local recurrences, fast metastatic spread to the lung, bad response to suppressive hormonotherapy and lack of 131 iode uptake by malignant tissue. Mixed trabeculo-vesicular carcinomas which have in comparison a fairly good prognosis (5 years actuarial survival: 63%) in keeping with a lower tendency to local recurrences and a useful concentration of radioactive iodine by metastases (most of them located in the skeleton) although dependent on the pourcentage of vesicles in the tumor process. Among differentiated thyroid carcinomas, distinction between pure trabecular and mixed trabeculo-vesicular carcinomas with quantitative determination of vesicules seems of great interest in relation to the therapeutic approach.

Adenocarcinoma

[Thyroid carcinomas. Critical study about 138 observations. Therapeutic deductions (author's transl)].

Between 1952 and 1973, 138 patients with thyroïd carcinoma have been recorded. From the critical study of these cases, the pathological, etiological and clinical features have been studied. Different therapeutic modalities are evaluated from these cases. Surgery was always used when possible. A hemithyroïdectomy was realised most often. We stress that sterilisation was obtained by 131I treatment in plurifocal metastasis, particularly in pulmonary metastasis, only when the iodine uptake was sufficient. Survival has been evaluated according to the pathology: papillary and vesicular carcinomas have a good prognosis (the papillary and vesicular survival rate at 10 years reaches respectively: 65% and 64%). Anaplastic carcinomas have a bad prognosis (the survival rate at 5 years is 18%, at 10 years, 0%. These results are similar to those published by differents authors. At the opposite, trabecular carcinomas have a very short survival (8% at 5 years, 7% at 10 years) which is very unusual in well differentiated thyroïd carcinomas. It has to be isolated from the others.
