Ear, nose and throat emergencies seen at our hospital in a year were studied. The results were compared with the scant literature available. Massive use of hospital emergency services by patients was analyzed.
We report a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the nasal septum in a 66 year-old male. The tumor was treated by subperichondral excision. The tumor was analyzed and guidelines for its clinical and histological (immunohistochemical) diagnosis and treatment are established.
A case of cutaneous leishmaniasis that presented as a large cervical ulceration is reported. The etiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment are reviewed. The visceral and mucocutaneous forms of the disease were excluded from this study.
Paper dealing with 3 cases of laryngeal Pseudosarcoma diagnosed and treated recently (in the last 6 years) at the AA's Department. Discussion about the histogenesis of these growths which components are epithelial and sarcomatous tissues. Survey of the bibliography of the subject.
There are several causes of syncopal attacks because of carotid sinus alterations. Recently parapharyngeal tumours have been implicated in its etiology. We reported a man with a cavum tumour who had several syncopes and an haemodynamical angina because of severe bradyarrhythmias. Implicated clinical entities in parapharyngeal space lesions syncope-syndrome, its physiopathological characteristics and differential diagnosis are discussed.
Malakoplakia is a chronic inflammatory process usually located in the urinary bladder but it may occasionally affect other organs. It is a rarely found in ENT cases. Such a case was diagnosed and treated in our department. Possible pathogenesis is also discussed.
We report a case of mucosal melanoma of the nasal cavity, of amelanotic nature, in a fifty five years old white man. Clinical course started with nasal obstruction and bloodstained rhinorrhea. We want to emphasize the extreme uncommonness of this type of tumor, its bad prognosis, and its difficult diagnosis. The treatment offers long term remission to a limited number of patients. For all these reasons, we have carried out a literature search on this topic and this paper shows the results.
