A rare case of pleomorphic adenoma of the nasal septum is reported. A 48-year-old man complaining of nasal obstruction and nasal bleeding was referred to our hospital for treatment of a left nasal tumor. The tumor, including the nasal septum, was resected by the modified Denker operation and lateral rhinotomy. The tumor was firm, parenchymatous, pedunculated, and 24 x 22 x 14 mm in size. Pathological examination revealed pleomorphic adenoma with slight cellular atypism. Immunohistochemical observations suggested that characterization of this tumor might be similar to pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland.

A rare case of a 51-year-old female with a pleomorphic adenoma, measuring 0.9 x 0.7 x 0.6 (cm3), originating from the right external auditory canal (EAC), was reported. The authors discussed the 7 reported cases of EAC pleomorphic adenoma in Japan, comparing them with pleomorphic adenomas occurring in the nasal cavity and the parotid gland. It is currently too early to conclude that pleomorphic adenoma in the EAC does not tend to recur or shows a marked tendency toward canceration. The best possible treatment for EAC pleomorphic adenoma at present seems to be, as in cases of tumors in other sites, surgical resection together with removal of a sufficient range of surrounding normal tissue, followed by careful long-term postoperative observation of the clinical course.

Parathyroid adenomas are classified into two types: chief cell and oxyphil cell variants. In this report two types of parathyroid adenoma in association with hyperparathyroidism were examined. Both cases had suffered from renal calculi, and underwent operation. The laboratory tests showed high serum calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. An exploratory surgery revealed a solitary tumor in each case. After extirpation of the parathyroid tumor these data returned to normal values. Electronmicroscopically, oxyphil cell adenoma in this report was characterized by numerous mitochondria and annulate lamellae in the cytoplasm. In some tumor cells secretory-like granules were observed.

A rare case of monomorphic adenoma of the hard palate in a 69-year-old female is presented. Her complaints were a slowly growing mass and occasional pain of the palate. The tumor was located in the posterior region of the hard palate, and it was approximately 1.5 x 1.5 cm in size. Under general anesthesia, the tumor was excised with a wide margin of normal tissue. The palatal bone was intact. Histological diagnosis was monomorphic adenoma, basal cell type.

The c-erbB-2 proto-oncogene is known to encode a 185,000 molecular weight glycoprotein. This protein has been detected immunohistochemically in several human adenocarcinomas, suggesting that it may play a role in the development of these malignancies. In the otolaryngological field none of the adenocarcinomas expressing c-erbB-2 protein has yet been described. In this article we presented a case of parotid adenocarcinoma expressing the c-erbB-2 protein. In this case the adenocarcinoma was thought to have originated from pleomorphic adenoma. Immunohistochemically, the adenocarcinoma cells were stained and the remaining pleomorphic adenoma cells were not stained by polyclonal antibody against the c-erbB-2 protein. The expression of c-erbB-2 protein may have been related to the malignant development of the pleomorphic adenoma.

99mTc-O4 and/or 67Ga-citrate scintigraphies were preoperatively applied to 13 cases of parotid mucoepidermoid tumor. The resected specimens were histopathologically subdivided into three types: well (6 cases), moderately (one case), and poorly differentiated (6 cases). As the other parotid neoplasms except adenolymphoma and oxyphilic adenoma, all poorly differentiated tumors showed focal defect image in 99mTc-O4 scintiscanning (4/4). They indicated a focal hot image in 67Ga-citrate scanning at a high rate (4/6). Otherwise, well differentiated tumors were scarcely pointed out in cold image and were usually indicated as a symmetrical image (5/6) in 99mTc-O4 scanning. None of them showed a focal hot image in 67Ga-citrate scanning, but two cases indicated diffuse increased uptake and another case showed a focal defect image. The clinical prognosis of mucoepidermoid tumors is extremely correlated to the degree of cell differentiation in our prospective study. For that reason, the therapeutic method should be carefully selected in the tumors suspected of low grade malignancy. Our study suggests that RI (99mTc-O4 and 67Ga-citrate) scintigraphy is helpful in evaluating the malignancy grade of mucoepidermoid tumors.

A case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma originating in the hard palate was presented. Histological diagnosis of the removed mass at the first operation was pleomorphic adenoma. Tumor recurred at the same site three years later. Subtotal maxillectomy was performed and recurrent tumor was histologically diagnosed as low grade malignant mucoepidermoid carcinoma. A two-year follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence. The low grade malignant mucoepidermoid carcinoma strongly resembles pleomorphic adenoma. The differential diagnosis is important for the better treatment and prognosis.

We reviewed the clinical records of 38 patients with benign neoplasms or tumors of the larynx that were examined in the Department of Otolaryngology, Kurume University Hospital during the 10-year period from 1971 to 1980. There were 24 patients with papilloma, 4 amyloid tumor, 2 hemangioma, 2 chondroma, 1 neurofibroma, 1 pleomorphic adenoma, 1 eosinophilic granuloma, 2 non-specific swelling of the ventricular fold, and 1 so-called prolapse of the ventricle. Some of these conditions, such as chondroma, neurofibroma, pleomorphic adenoma and eosinophilic granuloma, are vary rare.

Thyroid cells obtained from 21 normal human thyroid tissue samples and 17 tissue samples from diseased thyroid, including one of Graves disease, 4 with follicular adenoma, 11 with papillary carcinoma, and 1 with follicular carcinoma, were cultured in collagen gel, and ability to produce thyroglobulin (Tg), triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) was determined. Changes in morphological characteristics and production of Tg, T3, and T4 induced by addition of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) to medium in collagen gel culture were also determined. Twenty of all cases exhibited positive reaction for Tg. No relationship was found between rate of positivity for Tg and pathologic diagnosis. Three with carcinoma showed positive reaction for T3, and 4 with carcinoma showed positive reaction for T4. Only for normal thyroid cells did addition of TSH to medium induce increase the percentage of colonies producing Tg or T4 and morphological changes including an enlarged follicular lumen and increase in the height of columnar epithelium. These findings suggest that thyroid cells in collagen culture develop in an in vivo-like fashion. In conclusion, collagen has important effects on cellular differentiation when included in extracellular matrix.

Cathepsin B activity was measured in human thyroid tissue obtained surgically from 2 patients with Grave's disease, 3 with follicular adenoma, 4 with papillary carcinoma, and 4 with follicular carcinoma. Three normal thyroid tissues were also studied. Comparisons were made between cathepsin B activity and clinical findings, including histopathological diagnosis and the presence or absence of extra-capsular invasion and metastasis. The abilities of original tumors to degrade type I and type IV collagen were also measured. Mean cathepsin B activities of both specimens with benign and those with malignant disease were significantly higher than those of normal thyroid. On cases of thyroid carcinoma, those with extra-capsular invasions and metastasis had the highest cathepsin B activities. Cases with high cathepsin B activities also tended to show high type I and IV collagen degrading abilities. These findings suggest that cathepsin B plays a role in the development of extra-capsular invasion and lymph node metastasis in human thyroid tumors.
