Study of lymphoid tissue in paediatric ENT practice.

This study comprises 2 groups of children; allergic (18) and non-allergic (36), having undergone tonsillectomy, adenoïdectomy or both. The humoral immunity profile' bacteriology and neutrophile and eosinophile cell populations of the lymphoid tissues removed were compared. No significant difference was brought into evidence. The bacteriology of the two groups did however show a preponderance of Haemophilus influenzae. This would appear to be in contradiction to the generally accepted theories.

Contribution by tomodensitometry to the understanding and diagnosis of benign non-epithelial endolaryngeal tumours. In connection with a case of chondroma, one of lipoma and one of rhabdomyoma.

The authors report on 3 cases of submucosal, non-epithelial tumour of the larynx: one chondroma, one lipoma and rhabdomyoma. A review of the literature is presented. These three cases have benefited by radiological imagery proper to tomodensitometry. This technique is certainly the preferential radiological examination, since it enables an appraisal to be made of the interrelationship of the tumour and its surrounding structures. It gives a probability diagnosis through comparative measurement of the tumorous density.

Erosive oesophagitis revealing acute zinc deficiency during parenteral nutrition. A case report.

We report a case of acute zinc deficiency which occurred during parenteral nutrition in a patient with anorexia nervosa and which was characterized by a painful erosive oesophagitis preceding the typical oro-cutaneous symptoms. We also discuss the interpretation of plasma and urine zinc levels, the predisposing role of total parenteral alimentation and the specific therapeutic implications.

[A special aspect of perianal suppuration: Verneuil's disease].

Verneuil's disease is classically described as a chronic hidradenitis suppurativa of the apocrine sweat glands of the skin. It is characterized by the formation of recurrent abscesses of the subcutaneous tissues at the level of areas containing apocrine sweat glands. Extensive chronic inflammatory lesions of skin and subcutaneous tissues can evolve in multiple fistula. Occurrence in the perianal region is rather frequent (32% according to Goligher), but the lesions are often misdiagnosed. Fistula-in-ano are rare. When such is the case, fistula-in-ano are the consequences of a long evolution of the disease, the extension of the superficial lesions in the muscles of the anal sphincters or inappropriate surgical treatment. Five cases having undergone iatrogenic lesions are reported. Diagnosis is mainly a clinical one and has to be confirmed by pathological examination. Treatment is surgical and can bring healing if wide excisions of perianal lesions are conducted in single or multiple stages.

Perianal condylomata acuminata.

Anal and perianal condylomata acuminata are warts caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). The annual incidence of genital warts seems to have increased during the past few decades. Approximately 1.5 million consultations per year take place in the United States with this condition (1). Papillomavirus is a sexually transmitted disease, and is associated with several other venereal infections as well as with intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive squamous carcinoma. Only certain genotypes of HPV are carcinogenic, and can be precisely identified by in situ hybridisation techniques. There are many therapeutic alternatives, possibly reflecting the wide variability in treatment response.
