Laryngeal pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma.

A case of an extremely unusual tumor of the larynx, pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma, is presented with a review of literature. This is the fifth case of this malignancy described in the larynx in the English language literature. A histopathological diagnosis was made with immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. In contrast to other reported cases, the tumor in the present case had a very aggressive behavior. Despite radical surgery involving total laryngectomy and neck dissection followed by radiation therapy, the patient died of disease 8 months following treatment.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the trachea. Case report.

Neoplasms of the trachea are rare. The fifth case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma that nearly obliterated the lumen is reported. It is one of the most frequent soft tissue sarcomas particularly in the extremities. It is very rare in the trachea. Treatment is mainly based on local resection. Postoperative radiotherapy seems of little value.

Defective monocyte chemotaxis in patients with epidermoid tumors of the head and neck.

Monocyte chemotactic activity was assayed by a modified Boyden-Chamber method using the chemoattractant casein and was found to be impaired in 13 patients with epidermoid tumors of the head and neck. Using 7 healthy subjects as controls, the depression in both monocyte chemotactic activity and monocyte random migration in the patients with tumors was found to be statistically significant by the "leading front" technique (P < 0.05).

Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma.

A case of an ameloblastic fibrosarcoma in the mandible is described. The primary tumor was seen in a 5-year-old child. In spite of repeated surgical interventions, the tumor recurred three times within a one and a half year period, but not metastases have been observed. The difficulties in arriving at a correct diagnosis for this rare tumor involving the mandible are discussed. The treatment of choice seems to be radical surgery.

Blindness after intranasal ethmoidectomy.

Orbital haemorrhage is an unusual and frustrating complication of ethmoid surgery. A case of reversible blindness which was due to intra-operative orbital haemorrhage occurring after intranasal ethmoidectomy is presented. Prevention and management of this kind of blindness can be reversed, if treated aggressively.

An auricular leiomyoma is reported. This neoplasm is extremely rare in the head and neck region. The clinical and histopathological features are discussed.

Biotinidase deficiency: a rare cause of laryngeal stridor.

A case of a child with a biotinidase deficiency who had a laryngeal stridor as a leading symptom is presented. This rare disease is distressing for diagnosis but easily treatable, if recognized. This condition, unless suspect clinically, could easily be overlooked and unnecessary tracheotomy could be done.

Tuberculosis of the parotid salivary gland.

An interesting and rare case of tuberculosis involving a parotid gland is discussed. Although pulmonary tuberculosis is not uncommon in Turkey, primary parotid gland involvement is rare. The patient was treated by parotidectomy and antituberculous chemotherapy.
