Oncology of the parotid region is rich and varied, like its components. During his career, the ENT surgeon may come across such an exceptional tumor as osteolipoma. The aim of this study was to describe the rarity and the etiopathogeny of osteolipoma with parapharyngeal location.We had the opportunity to find this uncommon tumor in a 21-year-old female patient. The mass located in the parotid region...
Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a rare benign tumor most often discovered incidentally.A 72-year-old patient was referred for a subclinical lesion of the mandible. The orthopantomogram showed a well-circumscribed radiolucent osteolytic image, 1 cm in diameter, on the mandibular angle. On CT, the single lesion had a tissue aspect with a peripheral halo without enhancement after contrast injection. A cortical...
To illustrate by this case report that Acremonium must now be considered as a differential diagnosis in cases of maxillary fungus balls.Seventy-seven-year-old woman consulted for persistent pain of the right maxillary sinus, with rhinorrhea and nocturnal coughing. Computed tomography (CT) of the sinuses showed a heterogeneous opacification of the right maxillary sinus with well-defined hyperdense...
To assess the collective hearing hazard entailed by occupational noise exposure.The Late Audio-Sonometric Index (LASI) is a global score recommended for following up hearing loss in groups of workers exposed to traumatic noise, combining: daily noise exposure level (L EX,8h in dB(A)); individual hearing threshold level at 3kHz (HTL 3kHz in dB); HTL 03kHz targeted...
To report the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of rhinoscleroma in ENT departments of university hospitals (Côte d’Ivoire).Retrospective study of rhinoscleroma conducted in the ENT and head and neck surgery departments in Côte d’Ivoire from January 1980 to December 2008 including the cases of confirmed rhinoscleroma and the treated cases.Fourteen cases of rhinoscleroma...
Second primary lung cancer (SPLC) is generally of poor prognosis in patients presenting with head and neck cancer.Between January2000 and June2008, 39 patients with head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients diagnosed with SPLC were included.Fourteen SPLC were classified as synchronous and 25 as metachronous. SPLC and HNSCC staging correlated (P=0.0496). Patients with metachronous tumor...
Malignant salivary gland tumor usually involves the parotid gland. Although unusual locations have been reported for such tumors, we here report an extremely rare case of nasal location in a salivary gland adenoma with malignant transformation.A 65-year-old man with diabetes and hypertension presented with left nasosinal tumefaction causing nasal obstruction with slow evolution and recent onset of...
A large number of studies suggest a close relationship between olfactory and affective information processing. Odors can modulate mood, cognition, and behavior. The aim of this article is to summarize the comparative anatomy of central olfactory pathways and centers involved in emotional analysis, in order to shed light on the relationship between the two systems.Odorant contact with the primary olfactory...
Surgical reconstruction of the nasal tip is a very delicate procedure, as it must rebuild three different anatomical planes: mucosa, cartilage and skin with functional and aesthetic requirements. This procedure is even more difficult in burns patients, due to more limited donor sites and poor skin quality. Numerous flap options are available to reconstruct defects of the tip of the nose. The authors...
