RESUMO
PURPOSE: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a highly prevalent type of immunogenic cancer with a low survival rate in patients with comorbidities owing to toxic habits. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted of patients with resectable OSCC at a tertiary Spanish hospital from 2011 to 2014. The primary predictor variables were comorbidity and immune biomarkers. Comorbidity was assessed using the Adult Comorbidity Evaluation-27 (ACE-27) and scored from 1 to 3 (mild to severe decompensation, respectively). The immune biomarkers were neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived NLR (dNLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR). The primary outcome variable was 5-year overall survival (OS). Other study variables were stage, margin, and neck management. Receiver operating characteristic curves were built for each ratio. For the survey of immune biomarkers, area under the curve was computed to determine cutoff points and investigate their association with OS. Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival and Cox proportional hazards models were used for longitudinal analysis. RESULTS: Overall 215 patients were identified (median age, 67 yr; range, 32 to 96 yr; median follow-up, 31 months; range, 7 to 78 months); 159 patients had at least 1 comorbid condition. Results showed that a severe comorbidity (according to the ACE-27) increased the risk of death by 4 times in patients with OSCC regardless of stage. NLR, dNLR, LMR, and PLR were associated with OS in the univariate study. Cutoff points to predict increased mortality were 3, 1.9, 2.6, and 66 for NLR, dNLR, LMR, and PLR, respectively. Age, comorbidity, stage, margins, and management of the neck were important independent predictors of decreased OS in OSCC. PLR was marginally associated with OS in the multivariate model. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that comorbidity and NLR, dNLR, LMR, and PLR are associated with 5-year OS in patients with resectable OSCC.

Objetivo: Reportar casos de linfadenoma sebáceo, un tumor raro, localizado principalmente en la glándula parótida, con muy pocos casos descritos en la literatura. Casos clínicos: Presentamos 2 casos de esta rara afección, tratados en el Hospital Universitario Miguel Servet de Zaragoza, de enero de 2010 a diciembre de 2014. El diagnóstico, tanto por imagen como citológico, es difícil debido a su baja prevalencia y a la gran variedad de tumores de glándula parótida que existen. En los 2 casos presentados ha sido necesaria la exéresis para llegar al diagnóstico. El tratamiento curativo consiste en la exéresis completa de la tumoración.
Aim: To report a rare parotid tumour: sebaceous lymphadenoma, with very few cases reported in the literature. Cases report: We present 2 cases of lymphadenoma sebaceous of the parotid gland treated by surgery at University Hospital Miguel Servet of Zaragoza between January 2010 and December 2014. The diagnosis, both radiological and cytological, is difficult because of their low prevalence and the great variety of parotid gland tumors existent. In our 2 cases described, excision has been required for diagnosis. A complete excision of the tumor is required for curative treatment.
