[Hypopharyngeal cancer: analysis of the evolution and surgical results].

OBJECTIVE: Hypopharyngeal carcinoma is an aggressive malignancy that usually presents at a late stage, thereby resulting in an overall poor prognosis for these patients. The aim of this study is to determine the evolution and postoperative results of patients treated in our department for hypopharyngeal cancer. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 60 patients who had undergone surgery followed by radiation therapy between 1980-1999. Most of them were advanced stage (III-IV) and 75% patients showed regional metastases at presentation. RESULTS: The 5-year survival rate was 38.4%. The overall incidence of distant metastases and second neoplasms was 12.5% and 10.4%. CONCLUSIONS: Hypopharyngeal cancer remains one of the most lethal ones in head and neck cancer. The poor survival rate is related primary to advanced stage disease and particularly to lymph node metastases.

Surgical voice restoration after total laryngectomy: long-term results.

Tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) with a voice prosthesis has been the preferred treatment for speech rehabilitation of total laryngectomies at the Dr. Peset Hospital since 1984. This study reviews 350 consecutive patients over a 15-year period. There were 334 patients with primary and 16 with secondary TEP. Long-term tracheoesophageal speech was achieved in approximately 70% of our patients. Problems related to or affecting TEP for voice restoration were studied. The different types of problems identified occurred in proportions ranging from 0.6% to 18%. Most of them were easily managed, but problems such as salivary leakage and dislodging of the prosthesis led to tracheoesophageal tract closure in 30% of the patients.

[Vertical partial laryngectomies: our experience].

This paper deals with a retrospective analysis of 162 patients with glottic cancer treated in our ENT-Department using vertical partial laryngectomies (cordectomy and partial surgery with cartilage resection. PSCR). The term of study comprise from 1975 till 1991. In this interval were performed 118 cordectomies and 44 partial laryngectomies including cartilage resection. The parameters considered were: clinical onset, tumor sitting, TNM and pTNM classification, histopathological findings and treatment and survival and recurrence rates at 5 years, as well.

[Survey of 80 myringoplasty].

We report a retrospective study about 80 myringoplasties performed on 75 patients. The single occlusive myringoplasty technique was undergone in 33.7 percent of cases, while the tympanomeatal flap procedure was used in 66,2 percent. The grafted material was temporal muscle fascia (63.7%) or tragus perichondrium (36.2%). In 30 percent of instances some retouches were achieved on the ossicular chain. The anatomic success rate accounted for 67.5% and a good functional issues for 59.7% of cases.

[Supraglottic carcinoma].

We present the follow-up and end results of 98 horizontal supraglottic laryngectomies done for treatment of supraglottic carcinomata. Both functional and oncologic outcome as well the complications and 5-year survival of these laryngectomies are considered. We conclude that this surgical technique is a suitable one for the larger part of supraglottic carcinomas.

[Adenomatoid hyperplasia of minor salivary glands].

Adenomatoid hyperplasia of minor salivary glands in an uncommon clinicopathologic entity, first reported, in 1971, by Giansanti and cols. The condition mimics a neoplasm because of its swelling, but the histologic picture agrees with that of normal appearing salivary gland tissue. The interest of this entity is that although benign pseudotumoral lesion, it can be clinically confused with benign or malignant tumors and even, through fine needle aspiration cytology, with low grade mucoepidermoid tumors. We present one case of this condition arising in the soft palate in a patient with unilateral serous otitis media. A review of the published literature on the subject is done.

[The value of the computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) in tumors of the ear].

The first case report is an undifferentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the ear. This patient complained with pain and discharging ear, which led us to practice a TC followed by an attico-antrotomy. The pathologist could detect in the removed tissue the neoplasm in its early evolutive stages. In the other case the earache and the suppuration suggested at first a carcinoma. In spite of the TAC and MR exams the surgery that followed was not confirmative of the tumor presence.

[Pharyngocele].

Pharyngocele is a lateral pharyngeal wall herniation located in the pyriform recess or at the vallecula. It is a rare condition and the patient complains of dysphagia, lateral cervical mass which increases in size with the Valsalva maneuver, and other symptoms of the upper digestive way. The elective diagnostic study is pharyngoesophageal swallow. We present the case report of a patient who had acute respiratory failure due to supraglottic mass occupation. The explorations are discussed and the case report is compared with those few reported in the literature.

[The study of survival in the glottic cancer].

The survival rate for glottic carcinoma was analyzed in the cases treated in our service in 1978-88. All cases had a minimum of 5 years of follow-up. Clinical manifestations, tumor site, TNM and pTNM stages, histopathologic type, treatment, and five-year survival and recurrence rates were studied.

[Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis)].

Kikuchi-Fujimoto's disease (histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis) is a benign, self-limited disease of unknown cause that often presents with persistently enlarged cervical lymph nodes that are unresponsive to antibiotic therapy. The disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cervical lymphadenopaty: viral infection, tuberculosis, hyperplastic lymphadenopathy, and metastatic disease. It can be confused histologically with malignant lymphoma.
