[Cystic degeneration of autonomous adenomas (author's transl)].

Follow-up examinations in four patients with autonomous adenomas showed cystic degeneration in the autonomous adenomas 20 to 45 months after the first examination, confirmed by fine needle biopsy. Clinical improvement occurred three times with scintigraphic compensation, decompensation occurred once without clinical deterioration. In particular cases a therapeutic policy of wait and see is justified in patients with autonomous adenomas because they may remain clinically inconspicuous for a long time; on the other hand there is a possibility of a cystic degeneration.

Cervical thymic cyst.

Various types of cysts that originate in embryonal remnants may be observed in the neck. Among these, branchial cleft and thyroglossal duct cysts are more commonly observed, whereas thymic cysts are rare. Most patients with a cervical thymic cyst complain of a painless, enlarging mass in the neck. The histopathologic features of thymic cysts are diagnostic. Cystic thymomas, which seem to have a more aggressive clinical behavior in children, should be differentiated from the benign cervical thymic cyst. Thymic cysts most probably arise from embryonic remnants of the thymopharyngeal duct. Our patient had a cervical thymic cyst with neurofibromatosis.

[Cysts and congenital fistulas of the face and the neck. About 78 cases].

The cysts and congenital fistulas of the face and neck induce frequent malformations in Oto-Rhino-Laryngology. A retrospective study on these malformations has been carried out from January 1986 to December 2001 in the Oto-Rhino-Laryngology unit of the Brazzaville Teaching Hospital. This study considered the epidemio-clinical aspects, the modes of therapeutic treatment and the evolution of these congenital pathologies. The cysts and congenital fistulas represented 2% of the consultations in the service. Patients were aged of 10 months to 50 years (average age: 21 +/- 5 years) among them 49 men (63%) and 29 women (37%). The pathology appeared in childhood in 41% of the cases and during adult age in 59% of the cases. The main circumstances of discovery were: cystic swelling (72%), infectious complication (18%) and productive fistula (10%). The clinical forms have been dominated by the cysts of the thyreoglossal tractus (72%), followed by the pre-auricular fistulas (10%), the amygdaloid (9%), dermoid (6%) and nasopalatine (3%) cysts. The treatment was in any case surgical. A good embryo-pathogenic knowleldge should contribute to a complete surgical exeresis, a necessary condition to avoid recurrence.
