Objective: to analyze clinical manifestations and data of tool and cytomorphological methods of examination in patients with atypical laryngeal tumors. Material and methods. The results of the examination of patients with rare forms of laryngeal malignant tumors were studied and then compared to the typical manifestation of squamous cell carcinoma. Results. It was found out that the clinical picture of rare laryngeal tumors, such as chondrosarcoma and neuroendocrine neoplasms, differs significantly from the clinical manifestation of squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx. Conclusion. The clinical course of atypical forms of laryngeal malignant neoplasms has a number of particular features which predetermine certain diagnostic difficulties.
Objective: to substantiate the necessity to differentiate certain types of nasal defects with loss of the lower third nose cartilage. Material and methods. 121 patients with malignant neoplasm’s of the external nose having undergone radical surgery with single-step plastics of the lower third nose defect were included into the study. 35 of them (28.9 %) had cartilage loss. We used different reconstructive techniques to remove the skin defects, two-layer (skin + cartilage) and full-thickness defects. Results. From the technical point of view the most difficult was to remove unclosed full-thickness defects. The necessity was caused by the reconstruction of external and internal epithelial linings, missing cartilage and modeling of the nostril contour. Most of specific complications were revealed while removing the unclosed full-thickness defects. Conclusion . Full-thickness and two-layer (skin + cartilage) defects can be singled out among defects with loss of cartilage. In addition we divide full-thickness defects into defects with closed and unclosed contours. The suggested classification determines reconstructive methods and techniques and the predicted risk of complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
