[Thyroid actinomycosis (actinobacteriosis)].

An extremely rare case (the 15th case reported in the literature, according to our knowledge) of the infection with Actinomyces Israeli localized at the level of thyroid gland is presented. Although the clinical and imaging data, the fine needle aspiration biopsy, and the intraoperative aspect clearly suggested the diagnosis of thyroid cancer, the microscopic examination surprisingly identified "sulfur granules", specific to actinomycosis, so that treatment and prognosis were reconsidered.

Actinomycosis↗

A retrospective study of the cervico-facial nervous tumours from the E.N.T. Department of Iassy, Romania, during 1975-1995.

The schwannomas situated at the neck or at the lower part of the skull are rare; very often they appear as on isolated tumoural mass with borrowed symptoms due to the compression of the surrounding structures, signs intra-operation objectivated and anatomo-pathologically confirmed. The authors present statistically the cases of cervico-facial schwannoma hospitalized and surgically solved in the O.R.L. I Clinic Iaşi during 1975-1995, which are 17 cases, statistics that correspond to the others from the specialized literature. The cases were confirmed histologically; there was just one case of malignant degeneration of a double schwannoma. In the following pages we present the last 2 cases of schwannomas hospitalized and solved in the O.R.L. I Clinic Iaşi.
