ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivos: La citología por punción aspiración con aguja fina (PAAF) es un método globalmente aceptado en la evaluación preoperatoria de los tumores de cabeza y cuello, sin embargo, su efectividad en la interpretación de lesiones neoplásicas de las glándulas salivales es controvertida. El objetivo del presente estudio es evaluar la eficacia de la PAAF en el diagnóstico preoperatorio en los tumores de glándula parótida. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de una muestra de 93 pacientes con enfermedad tumoral de la glándula parótida tratados en el Servicio de Otorrinolaringología de nuestra institución durante el período 2007-2011, que fueron sometidos a PAAF diagnóstica preoperatoria y posteriormente a exéresis quirúrgica y estudio anatomopatológico. Los resultados de la citología fueron clasificados como negativo o positivo para enfermedad maligna, o muestra insuficiente. Posteriormente, los resultados fueron comparados con el diagnóstico anatomopatológico definitivo. Resultados: La edad media de la muestra fue de 52,9 años, con un rango comprendido entre los 11 y los 88 años; el 55,9% eran hombres. La PAAF presentó una sensibilidad para detectar malignidad en tumores de la glándula parótida del 57,1% y una especificidad de 95,1%, con valores predictivo positivo y predictivo negativo para malignidad de 50 y 96,3%, respectivamente. Conclusiones: La PAAF es una prueba sencilla pero de utilidad limitada para la orientación diagnóstica en la enfermedad tumoral de la glándula parótida en nuestro medio, debido principalmente a su baja sensibilidad; sin embargo, su alta especificidad y elevado valor predictivo negativo hacen de la misma una prueba con mayor precisión frente a un resultado benigno o negativo de la misma (AU)


Introduction and objectives: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a globally accepted technique in the preoperative evaluations of head and neck tumours; however, the effectiveness in the interpretation of salivary glands neoplastic lesions is still controversial. The objective of this study consisted of assessing the efficacy of FNAC in preoperative diagnosis of parotid tumours. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted using 93 patient samples with parotid gland tumoral pathology, treated at the Otorhinolaryngology Department in our institution during the 2007-2011 period. Preoperative FNAC was employed and the patients subsequently submitted to surgical excision with histopathological diagnosis of the specimen. Cytology results were classified as negative for malignancy, positive for malignancy or insufficient sample, and later compared with the definitive histological diagnosis. Results: The mean age of the studied sample was 52.9 years (range: 11 to 88 years); 55.9% were men. The FNAC showed significant sensitivity of 57.1%, with a specificity of 95.1%, for detecting malignancy in parotid gland tumours. The positive and negative predictive values for malignancy were 50 and 96.3%, respectively. Conclusions: FNAC is considered a simple test but of limited use for diagnostic guidance in tumour pathology of the parotid gland in our environment, mainly because of its low sensitivity. However, the high specificity and high negative predictive value of FNAC makes it a more accurate test in benign or negative result cases (AU)

ABSTRACT

El sarcoma sinovial representa el cuarto tipo de sarcoma más frecuente, situándose principalmente en las articulaciones de la rodilla y el tobillo, siendo excepcional la afectación de cabeza y cuello. Se da sobre todo en varones entre los 20 y 40 años. El diagnóstico suele ser inesperado por la rareza de la entidad y por las características inespecíficas clínico-radiológicas, basándose, por tanto, en técnicas inmunohistoquímicas y de microscopia electrónica. Presentamos un caso de sarcoma sinovial bifásico, localizado en la fosa infratemporal, tratado en nuestro servicio, y revisamos la literatura (AU)


Synovial sarcoma is the fourth most common type of sarcoma. It is usually found in the knee or ankle joints, and is exceptional in the head and neck. Most cases are diagnosed in men between 20 and 40 years of age. Diagnosis is often casual due to the infrequent nature of this tumour and its non-specific clinical and radiological characteristics. Confirmation is therefore based on immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy techniques. We report a case of biphasic sinovial sarcoma located in the infratemporal fossa treated at our hospital and we make a review of the literature (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The incidence of multiple malignant neoplasms in the upper aerodigestive tract is high and ranges from 7% to 20%. We make a retrospective study to evaluate the incidence of multiple malignant neoplasms in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, their main characteristics and survival. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We studied 103 multiple malignant neoplasms from an oncological database of 1330 patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. We use the SPSS v15 for analysis of the results. RESULTS: The incidence of multiple malignant neoplasms in our series is 7.73 %. Tumours of the hypopharynx are the primary tumours most often associated with multiple malignant neoplasms (21.34 %), followed by tumours of the oropharynx (15.38 %). Lung tumours are the multiple malignant neoplasms most often associated (29.03 %). The 5-year global survival is 33 % from diagnosis of the second primary tumour, 78.02 % of which are metachronous with an average of 40 months between the diagnosis of the primary tumour and the presentation of the second tumour. CONCLUSIONS: Multiple malignant neoplasms are very frequent in the head and neck area which shows the importance of thorough regular check-ups of these patients as the presence of multiple malignant neoplasms considerably worsens the prognosis.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La frecuencia de neoplasias malignas múltiples en el tracto aerodigestivo superior es elevada y varía de un 7 a un 20 %. Valoramos la frecuencia de segundos tumores primarios en carcinomas escamosos de cabeza y cuello, y determinamos sus principales características y la supervivencia. Material y método: Realizamos un estudio retrospectivo con 103 segundos tumores primarios de una base de datos de 1.330 pacientes con carcinomas epidermoides de cabeza y cuello. Empleamos el programa SPSS v15 para el análisis de resultados. Resultados: La frecuencia de segundos tumores primarios en nuestra serie es del 7,73 %. Los tumores primarios que más frecuentemente asocian segundos tumores primarios son los de hipofaringe (21,34 %), seguidos de los de orofaringe (15,38 %). El segundo tumor primario más frecuentemente asociado es el de pulmón (29,03 %). La supervivencia general es del 33 % a los 5 años del diagnóstico del segundo tumor primario. El 78,02 % de los segundos tumores primarios son metacrónicos, con una media de 40 meses entre el diagnóstico del tumor primario y la aparición del segundo tumor primario. Conclusiones: Los segundos tumores primarios son muy frecuentes en el área de cabeza y cuello, lo cual resalta la importancia de un control periódico y exhaustivo de estos pacientes ya que su aparición conlleva un ensombrecimiento importante del pronóstico (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Laryngeal carcinoma is a common neoplasia in our country. It is well-known that the supraglottis is more frequently involved in Mediterranean countries. We present our results on the incidence of neoplasias affecting supraglottis and glottis and we find a change in the normal trend. OBJECTIVE: To study the incidence of glottic and supraglottic tumours in our hospital over the last 31 years. We also analyze risk factors such as smoking and alcohol in the population of the Valencian Region. PATIENTS AND METHOD: We performed a retrospective review of 991 patients diagnosed as having carcinomas of the glottis and supraglottis between 1974 and 2005. The epidemiological data about the consumption of tobacco and alcohol in the population of the Valencian Region, Spain, are obtained from descriptive epidemiological studies (Health Statistics and the 2003 National Health Survey). CONCLUSIONS: With a total of 548 carcinomas of the glottis and 443 of the supraglottis, we find a change in the incidence maintained since 1990, with statistically significant differences (P=.0056). Thus, we can state that the glottis is more frequently affected than the supraglottis. Changes in the consumption of tobacco and alcohol cannot explain this current change.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los carcinomas de laringe son una neoplasia frecuente en nuestro país. Por todos es conocido que en los países mediterráneos predomina la localización supraglótica sobre la glótica. Hemos estudiado la incidencia en nuestro medio de ambas localizaciones y hemos comprobado una inversión. Objetivo: Estudiar la incidencia de los tumores glóticos y supraglóticos en el Hospital Universitario Dr. Peset en los últimos 31 años. También se analizan los hábitos tóxicos de la población de la Comunidad Valenciana relacionados con la aparición de este tipo de neoplasias. Pacientes y método: Realizamos un estudio retrospectivo de 991 pacientes diagnosticados de carcinomas glóticos y supraglóticos desde 1984 a 2005. Los datos epidemiológicos respecto al consumo de tabaco y alcohol en la población de la Comunidad Valenciana se obtienen a través de estudios epidemiológicos descriptivos de ámbito nacional (Estadísticas de Salud y Encuesta Nacional de Salud 2003). Conclusiones: Con un total de 548 carcinomas de localización glótica y 443 de localización supraglótica, hemos observado una inversión en la incidencia desde el año 1990 que se mantiene hasta la actualidad, con diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p = 0,0056). Por lo tanto, se puede afirmar que actualmente la incidencia de tumores glóticos es mayor que la de los supraglóticos en nuestro medio. Los cambios en el estilo de vida de nuestra población actualmente no permiten explicar este cambio

ABSTRACT

Estudio cuyo objetivo es conocer de qué modo la laringuectomía influye en la calidad de vida del paciente, y de qué manera preservarla o protegerla mejor. El método que han utilizado los autores se centra más en el ámbito de los comportamientos sociales de la persona, que en las deficiencias fisiológicas que ésta pudiera presentar.

ABSTRACT

Los tonsilolitos son pequeñas concreciones calcificadas que seforman en las criptas de las amígdalas palatinas formados porsales cálcicas o en combinación con otras sales minerales yque suelen tener pequeño tamaño. En pocas ocasiones han sidodescritos tonsilolitos de grandes dimensiones o en localizacionesperiamigdalinas.Nosotros presentamos el caso de una mujer de 55 años de edadque tenía sintomatología de disfagia y molestias en la faringecon sensación de cuerpo extraño desde había un año aproximadamenteaunque últimamente se habían agudizado las molestias.A la exploración se palpaba una tumoración dura a nivelsubmucoso en el paladar blando a nivel del pilar amigdalinoanterior derecho. El pilar parecía algo abombado, palpándosedicha tumoración como una lesión de consistencia dura y que ensuperficie presentaba la mucosa algo eritematosa. La tomografíacomputadorizada mostraba una imagen ovalada delimitada ymuy calcificada de gran tamaño (2,5x1,5 cm). Se procedió a laexéresis quirúrgica de dicha estructura


Tonsilloliths or tonsil stones are calcifications that form in thecrypts of the palatal tonsils. These calculi are composed ofcalcium salts either alone or in combination with other mineralsalts, and are usually of small size though there ha ve beenoccasional reports of large tonsilloliths or calculi in peritonsillarlocations.We present the case of a 55-year-old woman with a one-year historyof dysphagia and pharyngeal discomfort with a foreign bodysensation, though the manifestations had recently intensified.Exploration of the oral cavity revealed a hard bulging submucosalmass in the region of the soft palate, at right anteriortonsillar pillar level. The mucosa overlying the lesion appearederythematous. Computed tomography revealed a large, delimitedand highly calcified oval image measuring 2.5 x 1.5 cm, whichwas subsequently surgically removed

ABSTRACT

Tonsilloliths or tonsil stones are calcifications that form in the crypts of the palatal tonsils. These calculi are composed of calcium salts either alone or in combination with other mineral salts, and are usually of small size - though there have been occasional reports of large tonsilloliths or calculi in peritonsillar locations. We present the case of a 55-year-old woman with a one-year history of dysphagia and pharyngeal discomfort with a foreign body sensation, though the manifestations had recently intensified. Exploration of the oral cavity revealed a hard bulging submucosal mass in the region of the soft palate, at right anterior tonsillar pillar level. The mucosa overlying the lesion appeared erythematous. Computed tomography revealed a large, delimited and highly calcified oval image measuring 2.5 x 1.5 cm, which was subsequently surgically removed.

ABSTRACT

Los odontomas son los tumores odontogénicos más frecuentes y han sido clasificados en dos tipos: compuestos y complejos. Aunque su etiología permanece desconocida, parecen estar implicados diversos factores como traumatismos previos, generalmente se diagnostican en la segunda década de la vida y frecuentemente durante un examen radiológico de rutina.Presentamos un caso de odontoma de tipo complejo en una mujer joven de 22 años de edad y que refería molestias por sobreinfección tras su comunicación con la cavidad oral en la zona alveolar distal del diente 2.6. Fue tratada inicialmente con antibióticos y antiinflamatorios. Se le realiza una TAC dónde se apreciaba una masa irregular sólida en zona distal del maxilar izquierdo y hacía impronta en la zona del seno maxilar de dicho lado. Se procedió a la extirpación quirúrgica realizando un abordaje despegando mucosa alveolar y fondo de vestíbulo superior izquierdo. La pieza quirúrgica incluía la masa amorfa del odontoma y el diente 2.7 (AU)
