[Tuberculosis of the cavum, report of two cases].

The authors report two cases of nasopharynx tuberculosis. This location is rare or misestimated. The sarcoidosis, the Wegener's granulomatis can be discussed. The diagnosis confirmation is based on the histologic features as a caseous necrosis in a langhans reaction cells or as the presence of mycobacterium tuberculosis at a Ziehl-Nielson coloration. The authors insist on the interest of a systematic biopsy of the nasopharynx at the presence of a nasopharynx lesion or a primitive cervical lymph-nodes. A bacteriologic investigation have to be done before the beginning of the specific treatment.

[Anomalies of the 1st branchial arch. Apropos of 3 cases].

The authors report three cases of first branchial cleft anomaly in three patients treated in O.R.L. Service of H. Thameur Hospital of Tunis. After an embryologic and a classification discussion, they expose the etiologic data and insist on the extreme rarity of these malformations (1-8% of the branchial abnormalities). To establish a positive diagnosis, some specific clinic data have to be known, so much the chirurgical management can be began. The operative difficulty is consecutive to the connection with the VII nerve

[Parotid tuberculosis. Apropos of 2 cases].

The authors report 2 cases of parotid gland tuberculosis treated in the O.R.L. Service of C.H.U. H. Thameur, Tunisia. It's very rare infection even in the countries where the tuberculosis is common (Kuruvilla) (1981) (3). The preoperative diagnosis is difficult with a pleomorphic adenoma, a sarcoma or every parotid tumor. A skin's fistula will help the diagnosis which is confirmed by pathology and bacteriology. The treatment consist in a operative management with specific antibiotics. The prognosis is commonly well.

[Melanotic progonoma in an infant. Apropos of a case].

The authors report one observation of a melanotic progonoma or melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of the infant. They remind the etiologic and pathogenic data of this rare affection. They insist on the neuroectodermal pathogenesis with embryologic, histologic, ultrastructural and histoenzymologic bases. The maxillary location is encountered in 70% of the cases, it is facial cervical in 90% of the cases. The evolution is considered as benign with chirurgical management but the review of the literature shows 6 definite malignant cases, therefore the malignancy would be 3.5%.
