Long-term follow-up after extracapsular dissection of parotid pleomorphic adenomas-A retrospective study
Full text linkIntroduction: Parotid pleomorphic adenoma (PPA) is the most common benign salivary gland neoplasm. Extracapsular dissection (ED) arose as a conservative surgical technique alternative to superficial parotidectomy to reduce complications. Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent ED for superficial, <3 cm, mobile parotid lumps (Quer I) between 2004 and 2008 were retrospectively analysed focusing on those with histological diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma. A retrospective cohort study on 50 patients who accepted to undergo ultrasonography and clinical evaluation for at least 10 years since surgery was performed. Clinical data, surgical reports, and validated questionnaires for the assessment of complications, quality of life (QoL) and aesthetic satisfaction were analysed. Recurrence rate and complications after ED, with their QoL and aesthetic impact, were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed setting α=0.05 as the level of significance. Results: Low occurrence of complications related to ED was seen. Overall QoL after ED was very good (range 1-7, mean 6,86), due to low complications incidence of complications and their low severity, as assessed by patients through Parotidectomy Outcome Inventory-8 questionnaire. Overall aesthetic satisfaction was high (range 1-10, mean 9,78). Aesthetic satisfaction and QoL was statistically related to onset of complications (P = 0.02504 and P = 0.001859). Tumour localization and dimension was not statistically related to onset of complications (P = 0.8207 and 0.7586). After a mean follow-up of 12.5 years, no recurrences were detected. Discussion: There is a lack of studies with a long-term follow-up after ED for the evaluation of recurrences and complications. Considering our results, the ED technique should be adopted as the first surgical approach for Quer I PPA without suspicion of malignancy

A rare histopathological spiradenocylindroma.a case report
No full textBackground. Spiradenocylindroma is an extremely rare entity composed by two distinct neoplasms in one lesion: spiradenoma and cylindroma. It may arose solitary or multiple, sporadic or familial and often affect the scalp. Surgical removal is curative and histopathological examination is mandatory for diagnosis. Aim. The aim of this article is to define the clinical features of spiradenocylindroma and its importance in the differential diagnoses of head and neck tumors. Case presentation. A 58 years-old female with a preauricolar painless, tender nodule presented to our attention. The patient underwent ultrasonography and MRI, which showed a non-specific cystic lesion. Surgery was performed and histopathological examination revealed a spiradenocylindroma. A 3-years disease-free follow-up was achieved. Conclusion. Spiradenocylindroma is often misdiagnosed and, in our study, we highlight its role in the differential diagnoses of head and neck masses

THE LONG STYLOID PROCESS SYNDROME OR EAGLE'S SYNDROME
Full text linkLONDON,EDINBURGH,NEW YORK, Churchill Livingstone Ed., 2000.- PMID:10958426( PubMed – inderex for Midline) I.F. 0,700
Eleven cases of Eagle's syndrome or long styloid process syndrome are presented. It is a rare entity, which is not commonly suspected in clinical practice. Symptoms were dull and persistent pharyngeal pain, dysphagia, and facial pain. In addition to careful clinical examination, the use of plain radiographs, orthopantomograms or CT scan has allowed accurate preoperative diagnosis of this syndrome. Surgical treatment has positively resolved the symptoms in these cases. The International literature is discussed regarding anatomy, symptoms and treatment of the long styloid process syndrome
