ABSTRACT

Lymphagiomas are uncommon benign tumours of tonsils. Lymphangiomas are benign lymphatic tumours typically composed of dialated lymphatic channels which often occur subcutaneously in the head and neck region. Tonsillar lymphangiomas have been reported rarely in the literature which presents as a mass lesion. Histological confirmation is necessary for diagnosis. We report a case of lymphangioma of the tonsil in an otherwise well 17 year old female patient and review the clinical and histological features of this tumour. These lesions are usually cured by simple surgical excision.

ABSTRACT

Reportamos el caso de una paciente mujer de 79 años, con historia de 1 año de enfermedad caracterizado por disfagia y tumoración en amígdala derecha y adenopatía cervical. Se le realiza biopsia de tumoración amigdalina que fue diagnosticada como Adenocarcinoma, realizándose posteriormente una gastroscopia encontrándose una lesión en cuerpo y antro con estudio histopatológico de Adenocarcinoma Tubular infiltrante moderadamente diferenciado. La paciente recibió posteriormente quimioterapia con 5FU. Presentamos el caso debido a lo inusual que es encontrar metástasis amigdalina, siendo ésta además la primera manifestación de un cáncer gástrico.


We report the case of a 79 years old female patient, with a one year history of dysphagia, presence of a tumor in the right palatine tonsil and cervical lymph node involvement. A biopsy of the palatine tonsil tumor informed as an adenocarcinoma was performed followed by a gastroscopy that reported a lesion in gastric body and antrum whose histologycal diagnosis was a moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. The patient received chemotherapy with 5FU. We present this case due to the unusual presentation of metastasis to the palatine tonsil and also for being the first manifestation of a gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT

A tonsilectomia é uma das cirurgias mais realizadas em todo o mundo. Apresenta uma grande variedade de indicações, seja em adultos ou crianças. É comum o envio do material retirado para exame histopatológico, seja para análise de material suspeito ou como documentação médico-legal de prova de remoção. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a necessidade e o custo do exame histopatológico de rotina para tonsilectomias. METODOLOGIA: Revisado o resultado histopatológico de todas as tonsilectomias no período de 1978 a 2004 num hospital universitário e analisado o prontuário dos casos encontrados de malignidade. RESULTADOS: Um total de 2.103 resultados de análise histopatológica foi analisado. Desta amostra, apenas quatro casos apresentaram algum tipo de malignidade, sendo todas elas linfomas do tipo não-Hodgkin e já suspeitados antes da cirurgia.DISCUSÃO: A literatura mundial encontra resultados semelhantes e cada vez mais se avalia o envio para análise de todos os casos de tonsilectomia. O custo do exame é alto e seu resultado, nos casos de malignidade, pôde ser previsto em todos os casos antes da cirurgia. CONCLUSÃO: Análise histopatológica de todas as tonsilectomias de rotina não está indicada. Os fatores de risco estabelecidos por Beaty deveriam guiar a solicitação de análise histopatológica, para assim conseguirmos diminuir os custos com exames desnecessários.

ABSTRACT

Lateral cervical cysts containing squamous cell carcinoma is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the clinician since they usually represent a cystic metastasis from an occult carcinoma. Various imaging modalities or even blind biopsies will help identify the primary tumour. If the primary tumour is identified, an appropriate treatment decision can be made that incorporates both the primary tumour and the cervical node. If the primary remains unidentified, the neck is treated with a modified or radical neck dissection, depending on the extent of metastatic disease, and radiation therapy is administered to Waldeyer's ring and both necks. We present in this paper, a case with a large cervical cyst where histology showed the presence of a poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma in the wall of the cyst. A diagnostic evaluation of the patient was negative. Blind biopsies of the right tonsil revealed occult squamous cell carcinoma. The patient was treated by combined chemo/radiotherapy and she is doing well nine months following excision of the mass. The relevant literature is briefly reviewed.

ABSTRACT

El linfangioma de la amígdala es una neoplasia poco frecuente. De los numerosos casos de tumoraciones amigdalinas benignas reportados, pocos corresponden a linfangiomas. Se describe un caso de linfangioma amigdalino y se presenta una revisión de la literatura

ABSTRACT

Se presenta el único caso de Melanoma metastásico de amígdala derecha, estudiado y tratado en el año de 1986 en el Servicio de O.R.L. del Hospital Universitario de Caracas, durante los años de funcionamiento y experiencia. Los Melanomas son lesiones que frecuentemente se localizan a nivel de piel y solo un 2% de ellos ocupan las mucosas de la esfera O.R.L. y especialmente la cavidad oral. El caso que nos ocupa es una entidad clínica rara y se trata de una paciente del sexo femenino de 42 años de edad quien ingresa por presentar lesión amigdalar derecha y lesiones nodulares a nivel de piel. El diagnóstico de Melanoma Metastásico de amígdala se confirmó por exámenes de rutina de Laboratorio, Radiología, Histopatología amigdalar, Gammagrama Oseo y Hepático, Inmunoperoxidasa
