Opis:
Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm of the larynx. However, there are other rare malignancies that are reported by worldwide literature, such as neuroendocrine tumors, mesenchymal sarcomas, malignant salivary tumors, adenocarcinomas, lymphoepitheliomas, plasmocytomas and non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The authors present several cases of rare laryngeal neoplasms with a particular consideration of their origin, histopathological characteristics and methods of treatment. They emphasize the necessity of careful diagnosis in case of laryngeal tumors with respect to patomorphological examination.

Introduction. Leiomyosarcomas (LMS) originate from smooth muscle cells. They are very rare malignant neoplasms. Bony Leiomyosarcoma is a variant of spindle cell sarcoma, primarily affecting long bones, predominantly the distal femur and the proximal tibia followed by craniofacial skeleton. Aim. To describe clinical presentation and diagnostic approach of primary leiomyosarcoma of bones in two different patients. Description of the cases. Case 1. A 64-year-old male with a fracture of left distal femur after a fall was investigated and found to have a pathological fracture. An open biopsy of the fracture site confirms leiomyosarcoma. Case 2. A 58-year-old previously healthy female presented with a swelling on right side mandibular region. Orthopantomogram radiograph (OPG) of mandible and Cone beam CT (CBCT) mandible was taken initially and revealed a large area of bone destruction of the right side of the mandible associated with a soft tissue mass. Initial incisional biopsy made the diagnosis of spindle cell sarcoma followed by excisional biopsy, which confirms the diagnosis of moderately differentiated leiomyosarcoma. Conclusion. Primary leiomyosarcoma of bones is very rare. Imaging features are helpful in the evaluation of such conditions, but final diagnosis should be based on histopathologic and immunohistochemical features.

Introduction: Salivary gland tumours account for 3-6% of tumours of the head and neck. About 80% of salivary gland tumors occur in parotid glands, 10-17% of which are malignant The aim of the study was to assess whether there is an upward trend in cancer incidence within the parotid glands, with particular emphasis on cancers. Materials and methods: 322 patients underwent surgery and 328 parotid gland tumours were removed in the years 2005-2014 at the Department of Laryngology and Laryngological Oncology of the Upper Silesian Medical Centre in Katowice-Ochojec. Clinical, histopathological and statistical analyses of the removed parotid gland tumours were performed. Results and discussion: A significant increase in the incidence of benign tumours, especially mixed and Warthin tumours, was demonstrated. There was no significant increase in the number of malignant tumours over the analysed period of time.

Opis:
Background: Liver metastases of differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC) are uncommon. Surgery has proven to be effective in patients with 131I-negative hepatic lesions. Here, we present two patients who underwent liver resection for metastatic DTC. Case presentation: The first patient is a 36-year-old woman who reported with 70-mm hepatic metastases of papillary thyroid cancer. After primary treatment of cancer, she was disease-free for 8 years when the elevation of TSH levels resulted for the need to search for metastasis. Notably, the 131I SPECT did not show any lesions. The CT scan revealed an 80mm diameter mass in the liver. Histology confirmed metastasis of thyroid cancer. Lack of iodine uptake and the size of lesion excluded treatment with radioactive iodine. Radical resection of the metastasis was performed with good short- and long-term postoperative result. The second patient is a 65-year-old man previously treated for follicular thyroid cancer. When a iodine-negative 70mm diameter metastasis was detected within the liver, he was referred for surgery. Extended right hepatectomy was performed. In a 12-months follow-up, he remained stable, with no signs of recurrence. Conclusions: These two cases show that resection of hepatic metastases of DTC is an option even in the case of large lesions. Given the effectiveness and safety of liver surgery, we reckon that it should be the treatment of choice when possible. The decision to perform surgical treatment should be based on analysis of the ability to perform radical and safe resection.

Purpose of the study. To evaluate the impact of tumour location, local and regional advancement, histological differentiation, status of the surgical margins and radiotherapy on the disease-free time and overall survival rates in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of 67 patients treated with surgery (61 pts.), radiotherapy (6 pts.) and their combination (28 pts.). Follow time on average 40 months. The probabilities of survival were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier estimates, the differences were calculated with the log-rank test. An analysis of the infl uence of the neck recurrences on the prognosis was additionally performed. Relationship between independent categorical variables as: primary local advancement, location of the tumour, histological grading and lymph node metastases was evaluated with Fisher´s Exact Test. Results. Disease-free time rate amounted to 40,1%. There was no independent prognostic importance of primary location, T-staging and N-staging, histological grading of the tumour or radiation on disease-free time, just opposite to the status of the resection margins. However, the number of neck metastases was directly proportional to the tumour dimension and poor histological differentiation. Overall survival rate amounted to 87,5%. Posterior location in the oral cavity, involvement of cervical lymph nodes, surgical margins with the presence of tumour cells, poor histological differentiation and necessity of irradiation negatively correlated with the survival. Conclusions. A complete resection of the tumour was the most important independent prognostic parameter for the disease-free and overall survivals in oral squamous cell carcinomas in this study. An adjuvant radiation therapy could improve the results of treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma also in cases were so far considered only for surgical management.

Opis:
Introduction. Pilomatrixoma is a benign cutaneous adnexal neoplasm originating from the matrix cells of the hair follicles. Usually a slow growing and painless lesion, it must be considered in differential diagnosis of a preauricular swelling. Rapidly progressive lesion with skin fixity and missed subtle cytological features may lead to a misdiagnosis of parotid neoplasm resulting in management dilemma. Aim. This report emphasizes consideration of pilomatrixoma as a differential diagnosis in a similar clinical scenario, the role of frozen section during surgery and fascia lata interposition to prevent Frey’s syndrome. A brief review of literature is presented. Description of the case. We present a similar dilemmatic case of a 19 years old male with preauricular swelling. Based on cytology and image findings, a diagnosis of parotid neoplasm with possible malignancy was made. Surgical exploration revealed primarily a subcutaneous lesion with partial attachment to superficial surface of parotid. Lesion was excised with a cuff of normal parotid tissue. Frozen section confirmed it to be a nonmalignant lesion with possibility of pilomatrixoma. Fascia lata was interposed between parotid and thin skin flap to avoid gustatory sweating. Patient is on follow up for 6 months without recurrence or any complication. Conclusion. Pilomatrixomas can be misdiagnosed in case of lesions in subcutaneous plane in parotid region. In such cases, the differential diagnosis should include tumor and non-tumor lesions of skin and parotid gland. Importance of frozen section should also be kept in mind and the pathologist should be engaged at the time of surgical excision of the tumor. Interposition of soft tissue between parotid and thin skin flap helps prevent gustatory sweating in such cases. A high index of suspicion is needed for proper diagnosis and management of these lesions.

Opis:
Introduction: Hemangiopericytoma is a mesenchymal tumour originating from pericytes surrounding the capillary vessels. The etiology of this tumour is still unknown. It may be located in any part of the human body. The most common sites are pelvis and lower limbs and less often it occurs in the head and neck. The characteristic signs of hemangiopericytoma are slow growth regardless of the malignancy level and high vascularity. Surgical excision of the tumour with additional radiotherapy is the treatment of choice. Case report: A symptom presentation and diagnostic-therapeutic process in a 71-year-old woman admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology of the Medical University of Warsaw due to increasing bilateral nasal obstruction and dysphagia is herein described. Diagnostic imaging showed highly vascularized tumour in the parapharyngeal space also obstructing the left side of the nasopharynx. After evaluation, tumour resection from the external approach was planned and performed, followed by an uncomplicated postoperative course. Histopathological examination revealed hemangiopericytoma. The patient was qualified for adjuvant radiotherapy. She stays under observation with no signs of recurrence since surgery. Conclusions: Hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumour with a wide variety of clinical presentations and a relapse-free survival that is difficult to predict. Long-lasting asymptomatic tumour growth results in late diagnosis. Imaging and primarily, histopathological examination are fundamental for the diagnostic process. The best outcome is observed after radical surgical treatment. In order to reduce the risk of recurrence, additional radiotherapy is advised. Local recurrence may appear years after finished treatment, therefore long-term follow-up is essential.

Opis:
Introduction. Acromegaly is an endocrine disorder caused predominantly by pituitary adenoma leading to autonomic oversecretion of growth hormone and secondary elevation of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Consequently, there are both theoretical and experimental grounds for establishing a correlation between this disorder and the higher incidence of neoplasms. Objective. The aim of the study is to evaluate the incidence and types of neoplasms among patients with acromegaly. Materials and method. The study included 67 patients with acromegaly, aged between 24 and 75±18.8 years, 46 women (68.7%) and 21 men (31.3%), BMI: 30.7±5.7 kg/m2, age at diagnosis 49.1±12.5 years, with the medians of GH and IGF-1 levels at diagnosis of 11.3 ng/ml and 663.8 ng/ml, respectively. A retrospective analysis of medical records with particular regard to physical examination, medical history, laboratory and imaging tests was performed. Results. Fifty-one patients (76.1%) suffered from at least one neoplasm, among whom 48 patients (71.6%) had benign proliferations, whereas malignant neoplasms (larynx, endometrial and colon cancers) were found in only three patients (4.5%). Conclusions. Benign neoplasms were found in majority of patients with acromegaly (71.6%) most notably: nodular goiter and colon polyps; malignant lesions were rare (4.5%). Only every fifth patient suffered from no neoplastic proliferations. No correlations between the studied parameters and the incidence of neoplasms were found, most likely due to the small number of patients. This is the reason for proposing the creating of the first national register of incidences of neoplasms among acromegalic patients.

Opis:
Introduction: Pancreatic cancer is a devastating disease, being the seventh cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Its aggressiveness is due to its specific biology and the late diagnosis of cancer. Therefore, the prognosis for patients suffering from this cancer is dismal, with 5-year overall survival rate of around 6–10%. Up to date, only a complete surgical resection of the cancerous entity warrants a significant improvement in patients’ survival. Nevertheless, the pancreatic cancer’s biology is still not fully elucidated, so that the accuracy of prognosis for certain patients is highly uncertain. Consequently, the importance of both clinical and basic research aiming to reveal the crucial molecular factors affecting long-term prognosis should be highlighted. There is a growing number of evidence that biomarkers of PC not only reflect the presence of tumor itself but also present a “hint” regarding its physiology. Thus the aim of this study was to assess the levels of commonly measured biomarkers and their influence on patients’ overall survival. Materials and methods: The retrospective analysis of data on 129 patients admitted to our Department due to the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer was carried out. On the day of admission all the patients had their levels of CA19-9, CA125, CEA and CA15-3 measured. The overall survival (OS) was defined as time elapsing from the day of admission to the day of death. The Kaplan- Meier curves were built for all potential factors, Cox regression model was applied to carry out a multivariate analysis. Results: We retrospectively analyzed 129 patients with a mean age of 62 years. As many as 95 of them had an unresectable lesion and 34 underwent curative operation. In total, the analyzed patient group was characterized by a median survival of 7 months and 12 days. Cumulative 1-year, 2-year and 4-year survival rates were 35%, 16% and 15%, respectively. In univariate analysis, factors such as age >= 60, inoperable lesion, CA19-9 >= 200, CA125 >= 20 and Neutrophile to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) >= 5 were associated with a lower median OS. In multivariate analysis, three factors, CA19-9 >= 200, CA125 >= 20 and age >= 60, were found to be statistically significant. Indeed, patients possessing all of them noted much poorer outcomes regarding OS factors: 89 days versus 235 days for the other patients (log rank test P = 0.02). Conclusions: Our study fortifies the evidence that preoperative levels of CA19-9 and CA125 have a direct influence on the longterm OS. Interestingly, in our patient group, the correlation of biomarkers with OS was higher than that of resectability. However, our study has some limitations regarding, for instance, the lack of data on chemotherapy, comorbidities etc. In the view of recent molecular studies on mucin involvement in PC development, it provides a strong clinical evidence to prove their importance.

Background: Extra-appendiceal colorectal neuroendocrine tumors are rare neoplasms with variable biological behavior. Materials and Methods: The study group consisted of 15 patients with an extra-appendiceal colorectal neuroendocrine tumor who underwent surgical resection (M/F=3:12, mean age=62.9 years). Lower-grade neuroendocrine tumors (NET G1-G2) and neuroendocrine carcinomas were recognized in 5 and 10 patients, respectively. Data were evaluated retrospectively with regard to clinical and pathologic characteristics and outcomes. Results: The median age of the patients with lower-grade NETs was significantly lower than that in patients with NECs (53 yrs vs. 68 yrs, p=0.03). NETs G1-G2 were significantly smaller than neuroendocrine carcinomas (4.0 cm vs. 6.4 cm, p=0.02). There were no differences between lower-grade NETs and NECs with regard to tumor location, local infiltration, rate of nodal involvement, and distant metastases. All the patients underwent open segmental resection of the colon or rectum. Complete resection was achieved in 3 of 5 patients from the lower-grade NET group, and in 5 of 10 patients in the NEC group (p=1.0). The overall survival was significantly better for lower-grade NETs tumors (p=0.005). The median survival was 4.8 months in the NEC group. The median survival in the lower-grade NET group was not achieved after a median follow-up of 69 months. Three-year overall survival was at a level of 100% for lower-grade NETs, and only 27% for NECs. Conclusion: Lower-grade neuroendocrine tumors seem to exhibit comparable potential for dissemination as neuroendocrine carcinomas, however, prognostic implications of metastases are distinct.

Introduction: Juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma is a rare benign head and neck neoplasm that develops most commonly in children and young adults in the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses or the orbit. It can have a locally malignant character with a tendency to destroy surrounding structures. The treatment of choice is surgical removal of the lesion. Depending on the location of the tumor and surgeon’s preferences, it is recommended to use endoscopic or external approach, with the first one being the procedure of choice. Considering the risk of massive intraoperative bleeding, it is necessary to protect blood products before surgery. Case report: We present a case of a 41-year-old patient treated in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery of the Medical University of Warsaw.

Background. Breast cancer (BC) is the most common type of cancer in women and the most common cancer among women in Iran. The lack of awareness and of an early-detection program in this developing country is the main reason for the escalating morbidity and mortality. Objectives. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of a BC prevention program on the awareness and behavior of female high school students in Abadeh, Iran. Material and methods. This study was a quasi-experimental study. The sample consisted of 220 female students who were selected by the multi-stage sampling method and divided into two groups: intervention and control. The required data were collected by a researcher-designed questionnaire and then analyzed by SPSS 17 software using descriptive analytical tests. Results. There was no significant difference in awareness and behavior scores between the two groups before the intervention (p > 0.05), but after the intervention the mean scores of those variables in the test group had increased significantly (p < 0.05). A Spearman correlation test showed that the correlation between the variables (awareness and behavior) was significant and direct (p < 0.001, r = 0.340). Conclusions. Given the effect of educational programs on the awareness and behavior of students, the results of this study can be effective in attracting the attention of health officials and making them aware of the importance of providing training programs on BC through educational programs in schools.

Introduction and aim. We aimed to assess the usefulness of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) for characterizing renal masses. Material and methods. In this retrospective study we measured the ADC values of renal masses at b=0, b=500 and b=1000. Measurements were made by placing a circular region of interest with a diameter of 1 cm. ADC values from normal renal parenchyma were taken to define the ADC and to compare with the ADC values of the lesions. Results. A total of 72 lesions of 54 patients were included.40 of the masses were benign and 32 were malignant. The ADC values of benign lesions at both b values were significantly higher than malignant lesions. We found the lowest values in angiomyolipomas (AMLs) and oncocytomas and the highest values in Bosniac type I cysts. Similarities was found between the ADC values of some AMLs and the RCCs. In terms of statistical results, the inclusion of AMLs in the analysis did not significantly affect the difference between malignant and benign lesions. Conclusion. In our study, the ADC values of benign renal masses were higher than those of normal renal parenchyme, which is higher than those of malignant renal masses.The lowest ADC values were observed in AMLs and oncocytomas.
