The main objective in larynx cancer is to successfully control the malignant process. As conservative procedures develop, increased importance is given to organ preservation. Glottic tumors can be discovered in early stages, as the most common symptom, hoarseness develops rapidly. Transoral LASER surgery is a convenient option for early stage glottic cancer as it assures both a complete resection of the tumoral mass and preserves the larynx, thus its functions. Generally, it is reserved for TI and TII cancers, but in experienced centers its indication can be extended to more advanced tumors. Depending on tumor extension, clinical status and imagistic examinations, the surgical treatment can be associated with other therapeutic options (radiotherapy, chemotherapy or both). The therapeutic plan must be decided by a multidisciplinary team that includes an ENT surgeon, an oncologist and an anatomopathologist. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sarcomas are malignant tumours rarely found in adults, having in the head and neck a percentage of about 1% of all malignant tumours found at this level. They evolve both from bone tissue and from soft tissue, being differentiated depending on the mesenchymal cell from which they derive. Fibrosarcoma can evolve anywhere in the head and neck, the most common locations being represented by the cervical region and the paranasal sinuses.In this article, the authors present a rare case by the clinical association of two histopathological entities in the case of a male patient, aged 71. The surgical resection of two left laterocervical formations was performed, the histopathological result and the immunohistochemical tests setting the diagnosis of 2nd stage fibrosarcoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma, for which the patient was under a complex specialized cancer treatment.

Inverted papilloma is a sinonasal benign tumor characterized by the tendency to recurrence and the possibility of malignant transformation. The authors present the case of a malignized inverted papilloma in the form of a squamous cell carcinoma with ethmoidal location and extension towards the sphenoid and the nasal fossa. The loco-regional tumor location and extension imposed the postponement of the surgical intervention, the first therapeutical line being represented by chemotherapy, followed by the total excision, under endoscopic check-up, of the remaining tumor formation.

Sinonasal osteoma is frequently encountered in ENT practice, being commonly located in the frontal sinus. It may remain asymptomatic for long periods or may be an accidental finding after a routine imagistic examination. The treatment is required if the osteoma becomes symptomatic of if it grows in volume. CT examination has an important role in establishing the possibility of an endoscopic approach, which is the treatment of choice. The authors are presenting the endoscopic approach of a frontal sinus osteoma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. Choanal imperforation is the most frequent congenital nasal malformation. Bilateral choanal imperforation is incompatible with life. Unilateral choanal atresia or stenosis can go unnoticed for several years but bilateral choanal atresia is usually diagnosed early because of its incompatibility with life. Materials and methods. 6 patients with unilateral choanal imperforation have been operated between May 2014 and April 2106 in “Prof. Dr. D. Hociotă” Institute of Phonoaudiology and Functional ENT Surgery, Department I. Using an endoscopic approach a stent was introduced in the affected nasal cavity. It was maintained in position for 3 months. No nasal packing was needed. Results. All patients underwent routine preoperative endoscopic inspection of their nasal cavity. Mean age varied between 12 and 18 years old. Stent has been maintained in position for 3 months in 5 patients and one was spontaneously eliminated. There was no reintervention in any patient until now. Conclusion. Endoscopic endonasal surgery may be considered as the mainstay of treatment with minimal complications, high rate of success and fast recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
