[Otorhinolaryngological symptoms of tumors of the pharyngeal process of the parotid saliva (clinical case with literature review)]. / Otorinolaringologicheskie simptomy opukholei glotochnogo otrostka okoloushnoi slyunoi zhelezy (klinicheskii sluchai s obzorom literatury).

The parotid gland is the largest salivary gland. Tumors of the salivary gland account for 5% in the structure of oncological morbidity, and up to 80% of tumors affect the large salivary glands with tumor localization in 20% of cases in the pharyngeal process of the parotid salivary gland. The main clinical sign of a tumor of the parotid salivary gland is the presence of a slowly growing mass in the area of the gland. Often, underestimation of the clinical symptoms of salivary gland tumors is the reason for the late diagnosis of this disease and the initial manifestations of the process remain unnoticed for a long time. In order to increase the efficiency of clinical diagnostics of salivary gland tumors, the staff of the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Otorhinolaryngology and Topographic Anatomy with Operative Surgery of the Burdenko Voronezh State Medical University studied the clinical and anatomical parallels of changes in the ENT organs in lesions of the pharyngeal process of the parotid salivary gland. Using the previously obtained results of interdisciplinary interaction of otorhinolaryngologists and maxillofacial surgeons made it possible to increase the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of patients with tumors of the pharyngeal process of the parotid salivary gland.

[A clinical observation of laryngeal ossifying fibromyxoid tumor]. / Nablyudenie ossifitsiruyushchei fibromiksoidnoi opukholi gortani.

A rare observation of ossifying fibromyxoid tumor of the larynx in a 23-year-old young man is presented. Surgical intervention, performed in two stages, provided a positive result. With dynamic observation of this patient for three years, continued growth and tumor recurrence were not observed. Due to the fact that ossifying fibromyxoid tumor is rare, differs in the complexity of differential diagnosis and an uncertain prognosis of the course of the disease, registration and dispensary observation of patients with this pathology is necessary.

[Retrospective analysis of antenatal death of fetuses with a birth weight of less than 1000 g in the Voronezh Region]. / Retrospektivnyi analiz antenatal'noi smertnosti pri masse ploda menee 1000 g v Voronezhskoi oblasti.

AIM: to study the nosological structure of mortality among fetuses with a birth weight of less than 1000 g in the Voronezh region in the periods 2010-2011 and 2013-2014. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 267 autopsy protocols were analyzed in fetuses with a birth weight of less than 1000 g in the period 2010-2011 and 2013-2014. RESULTS: Spontaneous abortion happened in 81 (30.3%) cases, artificial one did in 186 (69.7%). The most common cause of stillbirth among extremely low weight fetuses was intrauterine asphyxia with a preponderance of antenatal asphyxia. Antenatal intrauterine infection constituted a high proportion in the structure of antenatal losses. In 2013-2014, the Voronezh Region showed a decline in the number of extremely low weight stillbirths due to induced pregnancy termination for congenital malformations after 21-22 weeks of pregnancy. CONCLUSION: Considering the fact that antenatal fetal death is a traumatic event for both family and clinician, the causes of all stillbirths must be carefully analyzed.
