“…No estudo de Vilela 12 os profissionais que atuam no Estratégia Saúde da Família afirmam que a contratação temporária interferi no programa, desde o fluxo de atividades até na questão do vínculo que a equipe já tinha estabelecido com a comunidade. Também relatam que quando a equipe perde um de seus membros, ela deve desdobrar-se para realizar as atividades e a cobertura populacional que eram feitas por esse membro que saiu.…”

Objective: To analyze how the type of employment contract affects the lives of Nursing professionals. Method: This is a reflective study, based on the discursive formulation of the Precarious employment relationship of Nursing professionals in the public sector. Results and Discussion: The studies addressed temporary hiring and show that this type of contract weakens the worker and disrupts services, in addition to breaking the bond with the team and the population assisted. Final considerations: Temporary hiring of nursing professionals makes the professional sick and weakens the bond and makes working conditions precarious.

“…Use of carbon dioxide laser is becoming more widespread for resection. Recurrence is uncommon and may be attributed to partial excision or a multifocal origin of the tumor [ 8 , 9 ]. Some studies report a recurrence rate of 6% in patients with benign minor salivary gland tumors [ 1 ].…”

The salivary gland tumors comprise of 3% of head and neck tumors. Pleomorphic adenoma, also known as mixed tumor, is the most common benign neoplasm of the major and minor salivary glands. The occurrence of pleomorphic adenoma of the tongue is very rare, and very few cases have been reported in the literature. A 41-year-old male presented with swelling on tongue. Cytological and histological examination revealed pleomorphic adenoma. Complete excision of the mass was done transorally under general anaesthesia. High index of suspicion and an adequate clearance of the tumor with a cuff of surrounding dispensable normal tissues is the key to successful treatment of such tumors. The authors consider the rarity of this case and present a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma of the tongue.

“…Surgical approaches include transoral, transcervical, midline transglottic, transpharyngeal, and lateral pharyngeal dissection, with care needed to protect the hypoglossal and lingual nerves, and complete transoral endoscopic excision of the mass in the patient in this article. Recurrence of this disease is uncommon and may be due to partial resection or multifocal origin of the tumor [ 7 ]…”

Pleomorphic adenoma of the tongue: A case report

et al. 2023

Rationale: Salivary gland tumors account for approximately 3% of all tumors, most of which are benign, with pleomorphic adenomas being the most common, occurring mostly in middle-aged women, mostly originating from the major salivary glands and, to a lesser extent, from the minor salivary glands, with the tongue being a very rare site of occurrence. To date, case reports of pleomorphic adenoma at the root of the tongue are also rare. Patient concerns: A 56-year-old male patient with no obvious cause of foreign body sensation in the pharynx, sputum, no pain, no blood in the sputum, no dysphagia, and no difficulty in swallowing and breathing, which was significantly aggravated in the past 2 weeks, with difficulty in swallowing, breath-holding on lying down. Diagnoses: computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a soft tissue mass at the root of the left tongue, which involved the tongue body in the forward direction. Electronic laryngopharyngoscopy showed a left-sided tongue root mass with a poorly smooth mucosa, covered with a mucous white pseudomembrane and a localized brownish-black crust without active bleeding. The final pathological findings showed a pleomorphic adenoma. Interventions: Postoperative symptomatic treatment was given, and the patient recovered well. Eight days after surgery, the patient was discharged from the hospital, and the pharyngeal pain basically subsided at the time of discharge, with no fever and no pharyngeal discomfort. Postoperative laryngoscopy showed smooth mucosa of the pharyngeal cavity, good pseudomembrane formation in the operated area, no active bleeding, no purulent secretions, and normal blood routine on recheck. The medical advice after discharge was firstly, full rest for 1 week, secondly, continue the oral anti-inflammatory treatment, 1 week after the operation need to review the outpatient clinic, finally, if there are any uncomfortable symptoms, seek medical attention in time. Outcomes: At present, the patient has been followed up for half a year and has recovered well from the operation without any discomfort. Lessons: It is very rare to find a pleomorphic adenoma of the tongue, and it occurs mostly in middle-aged women. In clinical diagnosis, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish it from malignant tumor of the tongue.
