    Abstract Introduction: Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of the head-neck region in children and mainly affect the face, oral mucosa, lips, and tongue. The base of tongue is an extremely rare site of involvement. The incidence is higher in women and occur more frequently in infants and childhood.
    Presentation of case: We present a rare case of cavernous hemangioma of the base of tongue in a 70-year-old male patient surgically removed by Transoral Ultrasonic Surgery (TOUSS). 1-year follow up didn't show sign of recurrence.
    Discussion: Hemangiomas are benign proliferations of endothelial cells common in the head and neck. The etiology is uncertain: an imbalance in angiogenesis related to substances such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (BFGF) with uncontrolled proliferation of vascular elements is proposed. It can be asymptomatic or, when affecting the tongue, lead to difficulty swallowing, pain, bleeding and dyspnea.
    Conclusion: This case report aims to stress that hemangioma should be considered in differential diagnosis in case of richly vascularized tongue base lesion, also in adult population. It would like to highlight the role of transoral ultrasonic surgery (TOUSS), which is able to achieve the same advantages as TORS with lower costs and shorter learning curve.

    Abstract Introduction: Laryngocele is an air-filled dilatation of the laryngeal saccule that can be classified according to its extent (internal, external, or combined) and contents (laryngocele or laryngopyocele). To date, there is no consensus on the best treatment for laryngocele.
    Objective: The present study aims to demonstrate for the first time the effectiveness of CO2 laser marsupialization for internal and combined laryngoceles.
    Methods: A retrospective study was accomplished in our ENT Clinic of the University Hospital, from 2010 to today, recruiting patients according to strict criteria. All patients had internal or combined laryngocele/laryngopyocele treated with CO2 laser marsupialization.
    Results: A total of 15 patients were enrolled for a total of 17 laryngoceles; 66.67% of the patients were males and the mean age was 54.4 (±14.12) years old. Internal laryngoceles accounted for 64.71% of the total, and only 7 cases were laryngopyoceles. At the 3-year follow-up, no signs of recurrence were found.
    Conclusion: CO2 laser marsupialization is efficacious in the treatment of laryngocele or laryngopyocele, both internal and combined, in terms of efficiency, safety, and fast postoperative recovery, without need for tracheotomy or open surgery.

  8. Article: Ranula: Modified Micro-Marsupialization: Case Report and Review of Literature.

    Abstract Introduction: Ranula is a limited mucus retention on the floor of mouth. Due to the young age of patients, over the years, attempts were made to find minimally invasive and effective surgical techniques. To date, however, there is still no gold standard. The modified micro-marsupialization is an effective and minimally invasive technique, with minimal risk of relapse, although there are very few reports about it.
    Case report: A 12-year-old male presented to our ENT Clinic with a rounded swelling with regular and defined margins, measuring 4x3 cm, soft and painless, non-compressible and bluish. Clinical diagnosis of ranula was made and a modified micro-marsupialization was performed: eight interrupted sutures using silk 3-0 were placed perpendicularly to the major axis of the lesion, from one side of the lesion to the other, without reaching the underlying tissue. No sutures were lost during follow-up, no complications occurred. Complete healing was reached after removing sutures on the 30th postoperative day. At 6 months control no relapse was observed.
    Conclusion: Modified micro-marsupialization is strongly indicated and recommended, especially in pediatric patient, due to its low invasiveness and its very low relapse rate. The poor case history found in the literature is probably an indication of the lack of knowledge of modified micro-marsupialization which, in our opinion, could be considered the gold standard.

    Abstract Introduction: Laryngeal carcinoma represents the 22nd most common cancer worldwide. Thyroid metastasis from laryngeal cancer is extremely rare. Overall, thyroid gland involvement by metastatic carcinoma represents about 1.1-2.1 % among thyroid malignant diseases.
    Presentation of case: A male in his 70s came to our Otolaryngology Unit with a laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (cT3). Total laryngectomy and bilateral neck dissection were performed. Histological examination revealed a pT3 carcinoma with sub-massive metastasis of the Delphian node. The patient underwent close follow-up. After eight months, neck examination revealed a suspected nodule in the right thyroid lobe. A right thyroid lobectomy was performed, and histological assessment revealed a nodule with squamous carcinoma metastasis in the superior pole of the thyroid lobe. The remaining thyroid tissue was affected by multinodular macrofollicular goitre. The patient underwent adjuvant therapy. One year after the second surgery, he showed no signs of recurrence.
    Discussion: Thyroid gland metastasis from laryngeal carcinoma is a very rare occurrence. In literature, we found only three articles that describes thyroid metastasis in overall 7 patients affected by laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Positive Delphian lymph node is usually related to poor prognosis: in 2007 a study reported tumour recurrence in 15 out of 25 patients with metastatic Delphian lymph node within the first two years of surgery.
    Conclusion: Thyroid gland metastasis from laryngeal carcinoma is rare; so close follow-up of oncologic patients is mandatory and, most of all, the positive Delphian node should not be underestimated for its predictive value.

    Abstract Background: Sulcus vocalis (SV) is a longitudinal groove in the free edge of the true vocal cord. It may impair phonation with incomplete glottic closure, phonasthenia and hoarseness. This study aims to detect a correlation between benign vocal cord lesions and the incidence of the SV.
    Methods: A retrospective study was carried out on patients who underwent transoral surgery due to benign vocal fold lesions and were selected according to strict criteria. Patients were divided into a group with sulcus vocalis (Group wSV) and a group without sulcus vocalis (Group w/oSV). The possible correlations between variables were assessed by the Pearson chi-square test (
    Results: The study included 232 vocal cord lesions in 229 patients: 62.88% were females whose mean age was 46.61 ± 14.04. The most frequent diseases were polyps (37.94%), nodules (18.53%) and Reinke's edema (21.12%). Statistically significant relationships were found between age and SV (
    Conclusions: This study did not detect a cause-effect relationship between SV and benign vocal fold lesions. SV within vocal fold lesions is more common in younger patients, suggesting a congenital nature of SV. In conclusion, in the case of a benign vocal fold lesion, a possible SV should be considered and researched to provide the patient the best healthcare.
