An unusual presentation: primary tuberculosis of the middle ear cleft.

Tuberculosis rarely affects the middle ear cleft; therefore, except for those working in close association with respiratory physicians, the disease is a curiosity and not often considered in the differential diagnosis of otorrhea. The diagnosis is thus made too late, with resulting complications such as irreversible hearing loss and facial nerve paralysis. A case report and review of the literature are presented, emphasizing that tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic ear infection.

Cerebellar ataxia associated with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and chorioretinopathy: a poorly recognized association.

We report a male with cerebellar ataxia, hypogonadism and chorioretinopathy. The age of onset was 12. The parents were first cousins. Endocrinologic studies demonstrated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism due to pituitary dysfunction. The ocular disorder involved the choriocapillaris and the retina. The association may represent a separate syndrome, seldom recognized in the past.

Pleomorphic adenoma of the septum.

Pleomorphic adenoma, the most frequently seen tumour of the salivary glands, is extremely rare in the septum. In this publication a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the nasal septum is presented.

Does gastric adenocarcinoma develop after the treatment of gastric lymphoma?

Two adult patients with the diagnosis of gastric lymphoma who developed adenocarcinoma of the stomach 8 years after the treatment are presented. Both patients were treated by subtotal gastrectomy followed by irradiation of 4,000-4,500 cGy to the epigastric region and six courses of chemotherapy (vincristine, cyclophosphamide, prednisolone). In our review of the literature, 16 cases of gastric adenocarcinoma following the treatment of gastric lymphoma were found and listed with details. The factors influencing the development of this secondary carcinoma, mainly those treatment related are discussed. The possible role of both radiotherapy and chemotherapy in shortening the latent period for the development of stump carcinoma is emphasized.

Synovial sarcoma in the neck.

Synovial sarcomas are very uncommon and highly malignant tumours. This uncommon malignant tumour of mesenchymal origin may rarely present in the neck. Since 1954, nearly 80 cases of synovial sarcoma, located in the head and neck region have been reported. Synovial sarcoma is most prevalent in adolescents and young adults between 15 and 40 years of age. In this report we present a case of synovial sarcoma in the neck of a 10-year-old patient.

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.

Liposarcoma of the cheek: report of a case.

Liposarcomas of the head and neck region are rare. Those originating in the buccal mucosa cause special diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. In this report, a predominantly well-differentiated liposarcoma of the cheek in a 32-yr-old man is reported. The tumor continued to grow slowly over a period of 3 yr before definitive diagnosis was established. Radical maxillectomy was performed with total excision of the tumor. Recommendations for earlier and correct diagnosis and treatment of this rare neoplasm are discussed.

Primary carcinoid tumor of the ovary. A case report.

The clinicopathologic features of a patient with primary carcinoid tumor of the ovary who presented with the signs of cardiac failure are described. The patient underwent total abdominal hysterectomy + bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy + omentectomy + bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy + appendectomy; and she is alive with no evidence of recurrent disease one year after surgery.

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.

[Deformity of the skull vault due to hypertrophy of red marrow in cases of anaemia ].

The shape of the head is often markedly changed in certain anaemic disorders, e.g. thalassaemia, congenital haemolytic anaemia and severe juvenile iron deficiency anaemia. However, this does not affect the basic structure of the skull and its characteristics. Rather, there is a strong thickening of the cranial bones; careful examination shows a deformation of the bones and skull cap. These changes are due to the overgrowing red marrow, which occurs in the same manner in anaemics although the origin of their disease is of course an entirely different one.

[The effect of changes in the bones of the skull due to Mediterranean anaemia on the shape of the skull and the formation of the cranial cavity (author's transl)].

The head and skull in patients with Mediterraneen anaemia show often a marked change of the external shape due mainly to the considerable enlargement of the cranial bones. From the abnormal external appearance the suspicion may arise that the form and space of the internal cranial cavity are likewise affected and even the basic structure of the skull is altered. However, a detailed investigation of the principal angles, distances and characteristic structures of the skull made on lateral roentgenograms of these patients, a comparison of the results between cases with different intensity of the osseous changes and a confrontation with the findings in normal individuals proved that there were no major discrepancies. The essential features of the human skull were always preserved. Only in some cases with severe alterations of the cranial bones a few small deviations from the normal values could be noticed and in a little number of them signs of a slight narrowing of the cranial cavity werde to be observed. This way was probably caused by a very early, rapid and extreme enlargement of the cranial bones resulting in a kind of "premature panzer-skull."

Giant benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma: US, CT, and MRI findings.

Benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma (BCPM) is a rare tumor, primarily affecting young women; approximately 130 cases have been described mainly in the pathological and surgical literature. We present imaging findings of a giant BCPM in a male patient and discuss the radiological differential diagnosis with a brief review of the literature.
