[Osteoclastoma of temporal and zygomatic bone].

A twelve year boy was admitted to the Otolaryngological Clinic of the Medical Academy in Cracow with a paralysis of the peripheral facial nerve and a tumor on the right zygomatic arc. A CT investigation revealed an expansive process in the central fossa of the skull, which continuously passed into the squama of the temporal bone and the are of the zygomatic bone on the right side, causing a paralysis of the nerve VII. A neurosurgical intervention was carried out as well as a subsequent treatment by radiotherapy. A remission of the tumor was achieved. Osteoclastoma was diagnosed histologically.

[Laryngeal changes in mucoviscidosis].

Mucoviscidosis (cystic fibrosis) is congenital and hereditary disease of excretion glands expose in infancy and school age. In clinical practice we very rare meet cases of mucoviscidosis with laryngological symptoms. Our study include 5 children examined in Children Hospital in Cracow. Three children were operated due to polyps in nose and paranasal sinuses. Two children are observed due to return infections in the parotid glands.

[The results of treatment of juvenile laryngeal papillomatosis in the light of experience of the ENT department in Krakow].

In the years 1973-1990, 48 children with laryngeal papillomatosis were treated in the Department of Otolaryngology, Medical University of Cracow. The data was obtained in 42 children. In 51% children the entire and long-lasting (from 4 to 8 years) remission of papillomatosis was ascertained. In 39% patients the considerably limited papillomatosis with distinctly prolonged remission time was obtained and in 9% of the patients the development of papillomatosis in low respiratory tract was noted.

[Surgical treatment of tumors of the external ear].

In the years 1974-1988 in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Medical Academy in Cracow 60 patients were treated surgically for malignant tumours of the auricle. Their mean age was 61.9 years, males prevailed (82%). In 1 case the malignant lesion involved also the external auditory meatus and in 4 cases it spread to the skin near the auricle. Histological examinations demonstrated basal cell carcinoma in 22 cases (37%), spinocellular carcinoma in 31 cases (52%), basal-spinocellular carcinoma in 6 cases (10%) and malignant melanoma in 1 case. In 3 cases of spinocellular carcinoma metastases to lymph nodes were found. In 30 cases partial amputation of the auricle was done, in one of them recurrence developed after over 5 years. Advanced malignant lesions in 30 cases required extensive operation with removal of the lesion within margins of healthy tissue, removal of lymph nodes with metastases and one-step plastic operation. Recurrences developed in 2 cases. Hyperkeratotic foci near the malignant tumour were present in 64% of these patients. They made difficult preoperative qualification and required more extensive excision of the neoplasm. After tumour removal from the external meatus the resulting tissue defect must be filled with a skin graft since healing by granulation tissue development leads to obliteration of the meatus. Two out of 7 patients required additional interventions for maintenance of the patency of the meatus.
