ABSTRACT
The Burkitt's lymphoma is a haematological neoplasia typical of early ages. In our country, the lymphatic nodes affectation is the most usual. We present a case report with a 12 year-old boy who consults for a asymptomatic cervical mass. The ultimate diagnosic was a nasopharyngeal Burkitt's lymphoma with neck extension.

OBJECTIVE: The early glottic carcinoma can be approached by different therapeutic options. We analyze the results obtained by means of cordectomy opened up by laryngofissure. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We design a descriptive retrospective study including 75 patients with glottic carcinoma T1N0M0 handled by means of cordectomy by laryngofissure (72 males and 3 females). The anaesthetic technique was locoregional and sedation. Tumor T1a, 62 patients (82.66%); T1b, 13 patients (17.33%). RESULTS: The specific survival rate at three, five and ten years was 100, 96.8 and 85.2% respectively; the global survival was 98.66, 90.47 and 52.17% respectively to three, five and ten years. There were ten recurrences (13.3%). Following treatment, 50% of the relapsed patients died. The probability of survival free of illness to three, five and ten years was considered in 0.9322, 0.9172 and 0.7093 respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This technique means good control of the illness and technical easiness. When doing it without a tracheostomy it is tolerated better and it generates lower costs per patient.

El linfoma de Burkitt es una neoplasia hematológica propia de edades tempranas. En nuestro medio su forma de presentación más habitual es la enfermedad ganglionar. Presentamos el caso clínico de un varón de 12 años que consulta por una masa cervical asintomática, que se correspondía con un linfoma de Burkitt primario de cavum con extensión hacia el cuello (AU)
