Validation of a Moroccan Arabic Version of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI-M).

Objective: Cultural adaptation of the tinnitus handicap inventory questionnaire to the Moroccan dialect version.

Method: We conducted a prospective study over a 3 years period (January 2017-January 2020) in the Otolaryngology Department of Casablanca University hospital. Translation was produced by a forward-backward procedure with analysis of the psychometric properties of the Moroccan version of the tinnitus handicap inventory.

Thoracic metastasis of malignant melanoma of unknown primary: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: Metastatic melanoma of unknown primary (MUP) is an unusual entity found in distant sites without evident skin lesion. We report a case of 45-year-old woman who underwent monobloc resection of a metastatic thoracic malignant melanoma of unknown primary, and who is currently under immunotherapy without local or distant recurrence during a follow-up of 18 months. We demonstrate through this case that R0 resection of an MUP associated with immunotherapy improves the prognosis and survival in these patients.

Sternal metastasis as first manifestation of a papillary thyroid carcinoma: A case report.

Introduction: Papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) are differentiated forms of thyroid carcinoma. Sternal metastases from differentiated thyroid cancers (DTCs) are rare and are of particular prognostic interest. Radioiodine therapy has traditionally been the treatment of choice for metastases from differentiated thyroid cancers; however, bone metastases are known to be resistant to this form of treatment.

Unusual presentation of a soft palate mass: A rare case report of solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma.

Introduction: Plasmacytoma is a rare clonal neoplastic disorder of bone marrow that originates from plasma cells. It usually presents as a multiple myeloma (MM). Less than 5% of patients present with either a single bone lesion as a solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP) or, even more rarely, as a soft tissue mass of monoclonal plasma cells representing a solitary extra medullary plasmacytoma (SEP).

Locally advanced maxillary sinus carcinoma controlled by para-latero-nasal approach.

Sino-nasal cancers are a rare pathology, with an incidence of 0.2-0.8% of all cancers, and less than 5% of ENT cancers.

Ectopic mediastinal thyroid removed by U-VATS approach. A case report.

Introduction: Ectopic thyroid tissue is a rare entity, and accounts for approximately 1% of all mediastinal tumours. It is a differential diagnosis of the mediastinum tumors or metastatic deposits from an orthotopic gland, as well as other benign or malignant masses. Although most cases are asymptomatic and discovered incidently by imaging, symptoms related to tumor size and its compression of adjacent structures may also appear which necessites explorations and lead to diagnosis.

Malignant tumors of the hard palate: Report of 4 cases and review of the literature.

Introduction: Cancer of the hard palate is a fairly rare malignant tumor. Different histological types have been described in the hard palate, and that can affect its different structures. Diagnosis is based on biopsy with histological examination and possibly on immunohistochemical markers to confirm the diagnosis and exclude other diagnostic hypotheses.

Thyroid papillary carcinoma with an insular component metastasizing to the sella turcica and sphenoid sinus: Case report.

Introduction: Papillary carcinoma accounts for approximately 80% of all thyroid carcinomas. It is associated with relatively good survival. Distant metastases occur in approximately 10% of the patients, with the lung and bone being the most commonly reported sites.
