[Cervical cystic lymphangioma in adults].

Cystic hygromas, infrequent in children, are even rarer in adults where they once were generally an unexpected operative findings. Now, with the progress in modern medical imaging the diagnosis can be suggested before operation. Analysis of the embryogenesis helps to explain the different anatomical and clinical forms and the relations of the cystic hygroma with neighboring tissues, particularly of renous origin, grases of cystic hygroma of the neck in adults are reported and discussed with 26 other well documented cases from the literature. The diagnosis can be confirmed only after operation and histological examination. Surgical removal is technically less difficulté in adults than in children and recurrences are rare.

[Thyroid teratoma in adults].

A new case of thyroid teratoma is reported in an adult and the heighten other cases of the literature are reviewed. This pathology, rather frequent and always benign in infants, is distinguished in adults by a malignant metastatic course for 14 cases of 19. The reported case, the second one in a male adult, remains a benign one after 14 years.

[Nasopharyngeal fibroma. Excision under hemodilution and delayed autotransfusion].

The surgical treatment of juvenile naso-pharyngeal angiofibroma involved a potential haemorrhagic risk: the average intra-operative blood loss was estimated at between 1,300 and 2,800 ml in many reports. Two cases are reported in which haemodilution and autologous blood transfusion were used. The method consisted in pre-operative repeated phlebotomies ("leap-frog") and normovolaemic acute haemodilution; thus, 1,700 ml of autologous blood was collected in the first case, and 2,300 ml in the second one. Autotransfusion was carried out and no homologous blood transfusion was used in the peri-operative period. The use of this method, although compelling, had many advantages (financial saving, suppression of adverse reactions with homologous transfusion, transfusion of fresh blood, reduction of postoperative oedema).

[An uncommon localization of upper respiratory-digestive tract tuberculosis: the cavum].

On the basis of a personal case, the authors recall the features of tuberculosis in the cavum. These lesions can resemble malignant tumours of the rhino-pharynx and they are part of the differential diagnosis. In particular, the authors stress the existence of rhino-pharyngeal tuberculosis with very few symptoms, which need to be investigated routinely in the context of a survey of proven pulmonary tuberculosis.

[Cervical cystic lymphangiomas in adults].

Cystic hygromas, infrequent in children, are even rarer in adults where they are generally unexpected operative findings. Now, with the progress in modern medical imaging, the diagnosis can be suggested before operation. Analysis of the embryogenesis helps to explain the different anatomical and clinical forms and the relations of the cystic hygroma with neighboring tissues, particularly of venous origin. 9 cases of cystic hygroma of the neck in adults are reported and discussed with 26 other well documented cases from the literature. The diagnosis can be confirmed only after operation and histological examination. Surgical removal is technically less difficult in adults than in children and recurrences are rare.
