Small cell undifferentiated carcinoma of the larynx.

A patient with a small cell, undifferentiated carcinoma of the larynx is described. The tumor appeared to arise in close association with subglottic minor salivary glands. Ultrastructural study of the tumor cells showed neurosecretory granules similar to those seen in normal Kulchitsky cells and pulmonary oat cell carcinomas. Bronchogenic oat cell carcinoma and small cell undifferentiated carcinoma of minor salivary gland tissue probably originate from the same cell type. The aggressive behavior of this tumor suggests the need for early systemic treatment including combination chemotherpay.

Prolonged orotracheal intubation in the newborn.

One hundred seventy-four consecutive cases of newborn infants who required orotracheal intubation for longer than three days were studied retrospectively. The duration of intubation varied from 3 to 211 days with an overall mortality rate of 22.9%. There was one complication directly related to orotracheal intubation. One tracheotomy was performed. Orotracheal intubation is felt to be superior to nasal tracheal intubation and tracheotomy in managing infants in this age group who require prolonged assisted ventilation.
