[Rare neck tumors: diagnosis and treatment].
A group of 14 patients is presented which has been treated at the ENT Clinic PAM between 1989-1998, due to rare tumours of the neck. Among them were: paraganglioma--3 cases, neurilemmoma--3 cases, actinomycosis--2 cases and 1 case of plasmocytoma, ganglioneuroma, oncocytoma, lipoma, toxoplasmosis and cystic tumour of salivary gland origin. For diagnosis FNB, USG, radiological and laboratory examinations, adenectomy, excision of the tumour for diagnosis and explorative cervicotomy were carried out. Beside surgery antibiotics, chemotherapy and RTG therapy were applied, depending on the kind of the tumour. Satisfactory results were obtained (12/14 patients are alive, 1 after removal of oncocytoma died due to cardio-vascular cause).
