Severe cervical chyle fistula after radical neck dissection.
The case of a chylous cervical fistula detected immediately after radical neck dissection is presented. The flow and metabolic derangements secondary to depletion of fluid, electrolytes, and protein required the ligation of the thoracic duct at the thoracic cavity. The various possible treatments of chylous fistula are reviewed.

Amyloidosis of the submaxillary gland.
Amyloidosis can be defined as an extracellular deposit of the amyloid fibrillar protein in one or more locations in the organism. Multiple clinical and biochemical forms of amyloid exist, and are characterized according to their fibrillar structural characteristics. The Red Congo stain presents green fluorescence when histologic cuts are observed by polarized light. The deposits of this substance can be focal in nearly any area of the organism, although the perivascular space tends to be affected. We present the case of a woman operated on for myeloma at the base of the cranium who showed no wider affectation at a later study. Fourteen years after the operation the patient showed a progressive growth of the submandibular gland that was diagnosed as a pathological amyloid deposit.
