[Cervical metastasis from testicular teratoma]. / Metástasis cervical de teratoma testicular.

The presence of neck metastasis in patients with testicular germ cell neoplasms in a rare but well known phenomenon. The incidence of neck metastasis in testicular carcinoma has been reported to be present in a 5% of cases. When cervical metastasis occurs, surgical resection of the residual disease following chemotherapy and using a specific technique of modified neck dissection results in a surprisingly improvement of the prognosis.

Metástasis cervical de teratoma testicular / Cervical metastasis from testicular teratoma

La presencia de metástasis cervicales en pacientes diagnosticados de cáncer testicular de células germinales es un fenómeno infrecuente pero bien establecido. La incidencia de metástasis cervicales en tumores testiculares se ha establecido en un 5 por ciento. Cuando esto ocurre, la resección quirúrgica de las masas residuales postquimioterapia mediante vaciamiento cervical modificado proporciona unos sorprendentes resultados con un pronóstico muy favorable.

Amiloidosis laríngea localizada. Cirugía endoscópica con láser CO2 / Localized amyloidosis of the larynx. Endoscopic surgery with CO2 laser

La amiloidosis laríngea es una entidad poco frecuente. Dentro de las vías aerodigestivas, la localización más -común es el órgano laríngeo, en concreto la región supraglótica. Lo más frecuente es que la amiloidosis laríngea sea una forma primaria localizada, aunque en ocasiones puede presentarse dentro de una amiloidosis sistémica. Presentamos un nuevo caso de amiloidosis laríngea primaria localizada a nivel de la mucosa aritenoidea derecha en una mujer de 66 años que fue tratada mediante cirugía endoscópica láser C02 (AU)

Laryngeal amyloidosis is a very rare disease. In the upper airways, the most common localization is the laryngeal organ, particularly the supraglotic region. Usually laryngeal amyloidosis is a localized primary form, although it has occasionally been reported in conjunction with system amyloidosis. We are reporting a new case of localized primary laryngeal amyloidosis in the right arytenoid mucosa in a 66 years old woman who underwent CO2 laser endoscopic surgery (AU)

[Rhabdomyoma in the adult]. / Rabdomioma del adulto.

Rhabdomyoma in adults is a rare benign tumor of the skeletal muscle that usually arises in the head and neck region. We report a new case of this rare tumor located in the tongue. The treatment, evolution, and anatomo-pathologic findings are described.

Rabdomioma del adulto / Rhabdomyoma of the adult

El rabdomioma del adulto es un tumor benigno derivado de la musculatura estriada, extraordinariamente infrecuente, que normalmente se localiza en la región de la cabeza y cuello. Aportamos un nuevo caso de este raro tumor, localizado en base de lengua, describiendo sus características anatomopatológicas, así como su tratamiento y evolución (AU)
