Spindle cell lipoma within the larynx: a case report with correlated light and electron microscopy.

A spindle cell lipoma was removed surgically from the right intralaryngeal lesion of a 68-year-old man. Laryngoscopy demonstrated a spherical protrusion with intact mucosa near the vestibular fold. CT scan examination showed a low-density mass just medial to the thyroid cartilage. Light microscopy revealed that the circumscribed tumor consisted of mature lipocytes and spindle cells. Electron microscopy revealed that the spindle cells lacked a typical basal lamina. Such tumors are more frequent in the posterior aspect of the neck and shoulder regions. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a spindle cell lipoma within the larynx.

Primary position upbeat nystagmus localizing value.

Primary position upbeat nystagmus has been associated predominantly with lesions of the midbrain, midline cerebellum, and lower brainstem. However, the precise localization still remains unclear. We report one case of primary position upbeat nystagmus in which magnetic resonance imaging showed probable bilateral lesions of the prepositus hypoglossi nuclei. Morphological and physiological studies have shown that this nucleus plays important roles in vertical eye movements. We conclude that the dysfunction of bilateral prepositus hypoglossi nuclei causes the upbeat nystagmus in our patient.
