ABSTRACT

Head and neck carcinoma (HNC) occupy the sixth place as the most frequent type of cancer worldwide. Next to alcohol and tobacco intoxication, other risk factors (RF) are suspected, including the human papilloma viruses (HPVs). The aim of this study was to highlight the prevalence of HPVs and histo-epidemiological characteristics of HNC HPV+ in Senegal. This is a prospective, multicenter preliminary study of 18 months (January 1, 2012-June 30, 2014). The cases of HNC histologically confirmed in Senegal were then sent to the bio-pathology department of the Curie Institute in Paris to search HPVs. In the 90 included cases, the PCR technique was successful in 54 cases (60%). HPVs were found in seven cases, that is, a prevalence of 13%. HPVs were associated with 5 cases of hypopharyngeal carcinoma and 2 cases of carcinoma of the oral cavity. Patients with HNC HPV+ had a median age of 42 years against 49 years for HPV-patients. Three patients (42.8%) with HPV+ carcinomas were smokers. Of the 47 HPV-patients, 40 patients (87.1%) had alcohol intoxication and/or smoking. The concept of oral sex was refuted by all our patients. Squamous cell carcinoma was the only histological type found. HPV+ cell carcinoma showed no specific histological appearance. HPVs are another certain RF of HNC in Senegal. The major therapeutic and prognostic impact of HPVinduced cancers requires the systematic search of the viruses by the PCR technique.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: We had for aim to study the factors influencing the rate of non satisfactory (NS) cervical node fine needle aspirations (CNFNA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We prospectively included 272 CNFNA, performed over 2 years (2010-2012). NS results were studied according to the following criteria: age, size and location of the node, number of punctures performed, and the operating physician's experience. RESULTS: Fifty-six (20.6%) of the 272 CNFNA were NS because they were acellular or paucicellular. The rate of NS CNFNA was not correlated with the patient's age: 63.6% for small lymph nodes (≤1 cm: P=0.01). Submandibular and jugulodigastric locations were observed in 28% of NS CNFNA and in 5% of satisfactory ones (P=0.001). The rate of NS CNFNA was 67% if 1 or 2 punctures were performed; it decreased to 18% for 3 or more punctures (P=0.01). This rate was 77% for the first study semester, and 8% for the fourth semester (P=0.001). CNFNA has been repeated for 19 patients. The second CNFNA was contributive for 14 patients. Repeating the CNFNA increased its efficiency by 73.7% (14/19). DISCUSSION: The rate of NS CNFNA depends on the size and location of the lymph node, and the operating physician's experience. Repeating the CNFNA significantly improves its efficiency.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Osteoclast-type giant cell tumors of the salivary gland are extremely rare; only 23 cases have been reported. Two presentations were observed: isolated tumor or tumor associated with a carcinomatous contingent. CASE REPORT: A 51-year-old female patient consulted for a painless left retro-angulo-mandibular swelling having appeared 2 years before. This was a 2 cm parotid mass without facial nerve palsy or cervical lymphadenopathy. The patient underwent a superficial parotidectomy to remove the nodule. The direct microscopic examination revealed an osteoclastic giant cell tumor without any carcinomatous contingent. At immunohistochemistry, mononuclear cells were diffusely and intensely stained by anti-pancytokeratin, while multinucleated cells were totally negative and CD68 positive. The patient was not given any complementary treatment. She was followed-up 23 months later and did not present any signs of recurrence or metastasis. DISCUSSION: The histogenesis and nosology of osteoclastic giant cell are currently unknown. Although this entity was not integrated into the latest WHO classification, most authors consider it as a variant of carcinoma. Published data on the epithelial or histiocytic nature of multinucleated cells is not consensual. Our case presentation supports the hypothesis of a histiocytic differentiation of giant cells and epithelial mononuclear cells.
