Amygdaloid cysts are benign dysembryological cystic tumors that develop in the antero-lateral part of the neck; they represent 2% of laterocervical tumors of the neck; they are among the most frequent gill anomalies; they represent 6.1% to 85.2% of second cleft anomalies. They are due to the persistence of the cervical sinus during the differentiation of the branchial apparatus. They are manifested by a laterocervical swelling located at the anterior edge of the sterno-cleido-mastoid muscle. Their cystic nature is confirmed by ultrasound and CT. Treatment consists of surgical excision.We report the case of a 33-year-old man who consulted for a huge right laterocervical swelling that had been evolving for 16 months without any other associated symptoms. An exploratory cervicotomy with an anatomo-pathological study was performed, and the histological diagnosis retained was an amygdaloid cyst without signs of malignancy.The objective of this work is to analyze the anatomo-clinical characteristics and discuss the methods of management and the therapeutic indications of this affection.
A pleomorphic adenoma or mixed tumor is a heterogeneous benign tumor of the salivary glands. The most frequent site is the parotid gland. It is rare in the accessory salivary glands, preferably located in the oral mucosa (roof of the mouth, floor of the mouth, cheeks, and lips). The diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma of the palate can only be made on a biopsy while remaining vigilant about the possible existence of other neoplastic foci within it. Definitive anatomopathology after excision is mandatory. Here, we present a clinical case of pleomorphic adenoma of the palate. We propose to specify the epidemiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic particularities of these tumors as well as their evolutionary characteristics.
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.
