[Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the thyroid].

INTRODUCTION: Langerhans cell histiocytosis, also known as histiocytosis X, has a broad clinical spectrum and highly variable prognosis. Its localization in the thyroid gland is relatively rare and presents particular diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. CASE: A 38-year-old man consulted for an anterior cervical mass that dated back to childhood but which had grown substantially in volume over the past seven months. The workup indicated a left thyroid nodule. We performed a thyroid lobectomy with isthmusectomy. Immunohistochemical and pathology analyses showed Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the thyroid. The immediate postoperative course and subsequent outcome were good (follow-up: 34 months). CONCLUSION: Diagnosis and treatment of Langerhans cell histiocytosis in the thyroid gland often require multidisciplinary cooperation to analyze clinical, radiological, and pathology findings.

[Hydatid cyst of the parotid gland: six cases].

Primary hydatid cyst of the parotid gland is still an exceptional localization. The parotid gland is an uncommon site, even in our country, in which echinococcal disease is endemic. We report six cases of primary hydatid cyst of the parotid gland who presented with an isolated mass. The diagnosis was based on ultrasonography, which showed a parotid gland cystic mass. The echinococcal immunologic test (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) was positive in two cases. The surgical treatment consisted of total resection of the cyst, without rupture of the cystic wall and preserving the gland, in four cases and resection of the prominent dome in two cases. The diagnosis was confirmed on macroscopic examination of the resected pieces. In all cases, the postoperative course was uneventful. There was no recurrence at the 17-month follow-up.

[Laryngeal chondrosarcoma].

Chondrosarcoma is a malignant tumor relatively rare on the larynx, and raises diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. Its diagnosis often requires the recourse to a radiological, endoscopic and anatomopathologic confrontation. Its treatment is exclusively surgical. It is based on broad excision sometimes mutilating and requires in this kind of localization a multidisciplinary collaboration between ORL, vascular surgeon and radiotherapy. In the light of a new very conclusive observation and data of the literature, we wanted to give a progress report on the clinical and therapeutic positions of the various authors.
