[Cytological assessment of nasal mucosa in children with adenoidal hypertrophy. Part II].

In this investigation we would like to evaluate what changes in cytology of the nasal mucosa occur after surgical removal of adenoids. The investigation was performed on 25 children (10 girls and 15 boys) aged 3-13. Material for the cytological evaluation was obtained from the nasal concha. The children were tested twice: before and one month after the surgery. Cytograms of the nasal mucosa of children with adenoidal hypertrophy before the surgery showed increased number of neutrophils. Cytological normalisation of the nasal mucosa occurs in one month after the surgical removal. In two children percentage of eosinophils in cytograms increased and percentage of neutrophils remained significant after the surgery. Cytological assessment of the nasal mucosa performed before and after surgical removal of the hypertrophied adenoid is helpful in evaluation of the accomplished therapy and may indicate what are the reasons of its failure.

[Giant tonsillolith simulating peritonsillar abscess].

The authors describe a tonsillolith detected by a 70-year-old man with odynophagy and a history of often tonsillar infections. A diagnosis of peritonsillar abscess was first made. The large concrement was yellowish-gray, measured 41 x 21 x 19 mm, which was one of the largest reported case in the world.

[The place of steroid treatment in nasal polyposis in light of last years reports].

On the basis of recent literature review the authors consider pharmacological polypectomy, concentrating on the reasons for high efficacy of steroids. The facts presented prove that in the case of nasal polyps steroids should be used not only as a supplement of surgical procedures. Steroid-therapy a simple, not invasive and effective management procedure should be used regularly reserving surgical procedures for certain specific cases only.

[An isolated case of laryngeal sarcoidosis].

Sarcoidosis is a disease of unknown etiology characterized by non-caseating granulomatous inflammation of various organs, but most frequently involving the lungs of young adults. Sarcoidosis is seldom seen by ear, nose, throat and larynx. The isolated case of sarcoidosis of the larynx is very rare. We present a case of histologically confirmed sarcoidosis of the vocal cord. The clinical aspects, diagnostic problems and therapeutical possibilities of this rare disease are described.

[A case of choanal polyp in a man with aspirin triad and pollinosis].

The authors describe a case of a man with a large choanal polyp descending into the hypopharynx. The man presented additional symptoms of full aspirin intolerance and pollinosis caused with grass pollen antigens. The Caldwell-Luc procedure was performed and the choanal polyp was successfully removed through the mouth. Postoperatively treatment with leukotriene antagonists and with an intranasal steroids with positive clinical effect was begun. However the patient discontinued the therapeutic process causing polyp recurrence within a short time.

[A incidence of cancer in the lateral side of the neck in a 65-year-old woman].

Branchiogenic carcinoma is a rare condition and should not be diagnosed in the absence of the criteria laid down by Dr Hayes Martin. The authors describe a 65 year-old woman with a cystic mass on the side of the neck. The woman was admitted to the hospital for possible branchial cyst. The histopathological analysis showed a carcinoma developed on a branchial cyst. The authors stress the importance of careful and repeated clinical examinations, which exclude the possibility of a primary tumor of other localization.

[Granular cell tumor of the larynx].

Granular cell tumor is an unusual growth of probably neuroectodermal histogenesis, first reported by Abrikossoff in 1926 with the name of myoblastenmyoma. Authors described a case of a 54 year man with laryngeal seat of granular-cell myoblastoma. In this case Abrikossoff tumor was located in the right vocal chord. The tumor was treated successfully surgically by microlaryngoscopy. The etiology, clinical features and diagnostic difficulties are discussed.

[A case of hamartoma in the larynx].

The authors describe a rare case of hamartoma in the larynx of a 31 years old man. The egg sized tumor was situated in the left aryepiglottic fold filling the lower pharyngeal space. The unfortunate location, patient disdain as well as late diagnosis and proper management caused the histologically benign tumor to enlarge and block the laryngeal entrance that endangering life. After initial tracheotomy the tumor was successfully removed through the mouth.
