[Symptomatic malformations of the first branchial arch].

Congenital malformations of the branchial arches are not infrequent. Among them first branchial cleft anomalies are common and they are to remain asymptomatic. The case reported is one of symptomatic fistula auris, which at the beginning led us to the initial diagnosis of an orbital cellulitis, secondary to ethmoidal sinusitis. We have made a review of the literature dealing with these anomalies and we expose in the paper an update perusal of the clinical features and the management of this rare complication.

[Adenomatoid hyperplasia of minor salivary glands].

Adenomatoid hyperplasia of minor salivary glands in an uncommon clinicopathologic entity, first reported, in 1971, by Giansanti and cols. The condition mimics a neoplasm because of its swelling, but the histologic picture agrees with that of normal appearing salivary gland tissue. The interest of this entity is that although benign pseudotumoral lesion, it can be clinically confused with benign or malignant tumors and even, through fine needle aspiration cytology, with low grade mucoepidermoid tumors. We present one case of this condition arising in the soft palate in a patient with unilateral serous otitis media. A review of the published literature on the subject is done.

[Oropharyngeal vascular lesions].

In this paper a case report of a tonsillar cavernous Hemangioma is presented. A review of the literature about oropharyngeal vascular lesions is done and their diagnosis, classification and its treatment is discussed.

[Non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the maxillary sinus].

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is an infrequent tumor at the paranasal sinuses site, representing no more than 5.8 to 8 percent of the entire malignant neoplasias in this localization. Clinical manifestations are insignificant and the definitive diagnosis comes through its pathological study. Treatment is fundamentally radiotherapy, either isolated or in association to polychemotherapy. Its prognosis use to be better than that of those lymphomas arising in Waldeyer's area. In this paper a case of a primary lymphoma of the maxillary antrum is reported and the literature about this condition is reviewed.

[Aggressive fibromatosis of the nasal sinuses].

A case report of a feminine patient who complained of nasal ventilatory obstruction and nasosinusal polyposis is presented. She underwent surgery and the pathological study revealed the existence of an aggressive fibromatosis. The AA. review the literature dealing with this illness and explain an update state of the clinical features, treatment and the course of this rare entity, closely related to fibrosarcoma.

[Pneumocephalus as a complication of mastoid surgery].

Non-traumatic otologic diseases are a rare cause of Pneumocephalus. Among them few reports have been published whereas it presented following oto-surgery. The AA. communicate one of those events in a patient who presented with CSF-otorrhea, headache and disorientation after recent radical mastoidectomy. The definitive diagnosis was done by CT-scan imaging. Survey of the scarce literature on the subject, description of the clinical and diagnostic features, its possible physiopathology and surgical management.

[Pleomorphic adenoma of the palate].

Furthermore major salivary glands salivary tissue is localized in minor salivary glands. The AA. present a case of pleomorphic adenoma arising in soft palate.

[Undifferentiated oat-cell tumor of the larynx. Case report].

The oat-cells tumor is a neuroendocrine growth belonging to the APUD system, sitting regularly in the lung and very rarely in the larynx. Biologically its behaviour is extremely aggressive and must be managed as a systemic disease. The up-to-date treatment is the radiotherapy associated with chemotherapy. The paper deals with one of these tumors of laryngeal site and a review of the bibliography is done.

[The value of the anamnesis and physical examination in surgical pathology of the thyroid gland. Report on 423 thyroidectomies].

The purpose of this paper is to present a retrospective study of 423 cases of surgical pathology of the thyroid gland. All the cases underwent surgery during a period of 11 years. The data gained through these ways were statistically studied and compared with those provided by histological diagnosis, with the aim of searching any clinic situations that can lead to the suspicion of oncological pathology of the gland.

[The value of the computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) in tumors of the ear].

The first case report is an undifferentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the ear. This patient complained with pain and discharging ear, which led us to practice a TC followed by an attico-antrotomy. The pathologist could detect in the removed tissue the neoplasm in its early evolutive stages. In the other case the earache and the suppuration suggested at first a carcinoma. In spite of the TAC and MR exams the surgery that followed was not confirmative of the tumor presence.

[Histiocytoid hemangioma].

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a multisystemic disease characterized mainly by cutaneous nodules, vascular proliferation with atypical histiocytoid endothelial cells and numerous eosinophiles, often with blood eosinophilia. It use to recur "in situ" and persist after surgical excision. The AA. review the literature about this rare tumor and present the clinical and histopathological features of a case of Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia of the tongue.

[Auricular pseudocyst].

Pseudocyst of the auricle is a spontaneous intracartilaginous collection of serous fluid in the anterior aspect of the auricle. These cysts occur frequently in young healthy Chinese males. Engel (1966) was the first to report a series of pseudocysts of the auricle in Chinese. Its etiology is unknown, treatment is difficult and recurrence frequent. In the paper a case report is presented and a review of the literature of this rare condition is done.

[Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the nasal fossa].

A case report of an extramedullary plasmocytoma located in the nasal cavity is presented. Although infrequent in the ENT practice, they use to occur in the head and the neck. The AA. remark the importance of performing immunohistochemical tests to assess an accurate differential diagnosis with some other neoplasms and, specially, with plasma cell reactive granuloma.

[Mandibular osteoradionecrosis caused by radiotherapy of lip cancer. Differential diagnosis with tumor recurrence].

The onset of the bone radionecrosis is a relatively unusual problem which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of recurrences of irradiated tumors showing a high degree of aggressiveness. The AA. present a case report of a re-operated lower lip carcinoma which underwent further radiation therapy. A bony mandibular lesion was then observed, which led to the diagnosis of tumoral invasion at the mandible, and a partial mandibulectomy was then performed. The histopathological examination revealed a bone necrosis, probably due to radiotherapy. The clinical features and therapeutic management of mandibular osteoradionecrosis are commented.
