Early glottic tumours with anterior commissure involvement. Literature review and consensus document. Head and Neck and Skull Base Commission, SEORL-CCC.

The choice of the most appropriate treatment in early-stage glottic cancer with anterior commissure involvement remains controversial. Its therapeutic management is complex because it is a significant prognostic indicator of local control with 37% recurrence, due to the difficulty in establishing tumour extension with understaging of up to 40%, and due to the comparison of results in series on tumours that behave variably as they progress, such as T1a, T1b and T2a with commissure involvement. Furthermore, the complexity of the surgical approach using transoral CO2 laser microsurgery requires surgical skill, appropriate equipment and experience.

A predictive model for recurrence in patients with glottic cancer implemented in a mobile application for Android.

Objectives: The existing predictive models of laryngeal cancer recurrence present limitations for clinical practice. Therefore, we constructed, internally validated and implemented in a mobile application (Android) a new model based on a points system taking into account the internationally recommended statistical methodology.

Materials And Methods: This longitudinal prospective study included 189 patients with glottic cancer in 2004-2016 in a Spanish region.

Laryngeal manifestation of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Laryngeal lymphomas are rare, involving less than 1% of all laryngeal tumours. Extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas generally appear in places where lymphoid tissue exists, such as the small bowel or parotid; they are very unusual in organs with little or no presence of lymphoid tissue, such as the larynx. When advanced stages are established, initial lymphoma manifestation at the laryngeal level has rarely been documented.

Extraosseous chordoma of nasopharynx in paediatric age.

Intracranial chordomas are relatively rare locally aggressive tumours that probably originate from embryonic remnants of the notochord. They typically arise from the sacrum and secondly in the skull base/clivus region. When skull base chordomas occur at an extraosseous location (without lytic bone destruction), they may mimic other lesions of the nasopharynx.

[Papillomas & laryngeal papillomatosis. Treatment with CO₂ laser surgery. Our experience over 15 years].

Objectives: The study goal was to evaluate the efficacy of CO₂ laser surgery in the treatment of laryngeal papillomatosis. We analysed several parameters such as gender, average age, relapse rate and viral serotype.

Material And Methods: A total of 26 diagnosed patients were included in this retrospective descriptive review.
