[Subglottic MALT-type lymphoma: unusual location].

We report a case of a 79-year-old woman presenting subglottic tumor whose hystopathological study was MALT-type lymphoma. After excluding the possibility of systemic dissemination, local radiotherapy treatment was applied. The interest of this study lies in the rare involvement of haematopoietic neoplasms in the larynx, especially the MALT-type in subglottic location. We review the literature on this subject, exposing the clinical, therapeutical and follow up data in respect to the initial location of the lymphoma.

[Tracheopatia osteochondroplastica. A case report].

Tracheoplastia osteoplastica is a rare benign disease of the trachea and major bronchi that is characterized by bony and cartilaginous submucosal nodules covered by normal mucosa. Localized lesions rarely produce clinical manifestations and most symptomatic patients have extensive, diffuse lesions. The bronchoscopic findings are typical and the diagnosis is confirmed by biopsy. We report a case of tracheopathia osteoplastica diagnosed by bronchoscopy in a 64-year-old woman.

[The results and evaluation of septoplasty in an outpatient surgical unit].

With this work we intend to appreciate the true value of outcomes of a series of 48 patients operated on septoplasty under general anesthesia in the surgical unit without admission (SUWA) during a 18 months term. We evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications as well the criteria for medical and social selection of candidates. We have verified that septum deviation in association with rhinitis increases the incidence of postoperative complications. Nevertheless, we have confirmed also that septal surgery is a procedure with low rate of complications and seemly good to carry out at surgical unit without admission, provided are strictly followed the criteria for selection of the cases in order to minimize the risks.

[Necrotizing fasciitis of the head and neck. Report of 4 cases of cervical necrotizing fasciitis].

Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe polybacteria infection characterised by necrosis of the fascial and adjacent soft tissues with rapid expansion of the infection along fascial planes. It may originate potentially fatal complications and often is accompanied by systemic toxicity. It is not a frequent entity in the head and neck, but early diagnosis is very important because early treatment based on intravenous antibiotherapy and aggressive surgical debridement can prevent complications that often cause the death of the patient. Pour reports of necrotizing fasciitis are presented, one of them with fatal outcome, which leads us to emphasize the importance of an early diagnosis.

[Outpatient ENT surgery in a district hospital].

Our experience in out-patient surgery from October 1994 to July 1996 is reported. Patients were selected using anesthesiology criteria (anesthetic risk I or II, psychosocial criteria, operation time less that 1 h 30 min, age > 6 years). One hundred seventy-eight patients underwent surgery: 61 direct suspension laryngoscopy, 50 adenoidectomy, 48 septoplasty, 10 functional endoscopic sinus surgery, 8 myringotomy, and 1 nasal decortication. Fourteen patients (7.86%) required hospital admission. No patients required ENT care in the first 24 hours after release from the Ambulatory Surgery Unit.
