          Abstract

          La patología del cuello y su abordaje quirúrgico es una práctica clínica habitual para el cirujano de cabeza y cuello. El planteamiento de la cirugía será en base al diagnóstico de sospecha, con las pruebas de imagen y citología por punción de la tumoración cervical. En algunos casos el diagnóstico definitivo solo nos lo dará el estudio anatomopatológico de la pieza quirúrgica. Se presenta el caso de una tumoración cervical, de tórpida y rápida evolución, en la cual el agente Trichinella spiralis, pudo tener un papel en la etiología del cuadro.

          Translated abstract

          Neck masses and their surgical approach form part of standard practice for the head and neck surgeon. The approach of the surgery will be based on the diagnosis of suspicion, with imaging and cytology by puncture of the cervical tumor. Sometimes the definitive diagnosis will only be established during surgery or, in particular, after pathological analysis. We present a case of a patient with cervical tumor, showing a rapid and fatal progression. In this patient, triquinella spiralis might play a role in cancer development.

            Trichinella spiralis and breast carcinoma--a case report.

            Authors report about a patient with recurrent ductal invasive breast carcinoma and trichinosis. The patient underwent mastectomy of the left breast with evacuation of the axilla because of the cancer. Radiation therapy was received. An infestation with Trichinella spiralis was diagnosed two years after The patient was treated with mebendazole. A local recurrence of the tumor was found on the chest wall six years after the surgery. Tumor excision was performed. Histological analysis pointed at a ductal invasive carcinoma with numerous parasites of Trichinella spiralis present within both the muscle and the tumor tissue. The finding of parasites in the tumor tissue witnesses in favor of infestation, and the parasite morphology preserved in the tumor shows at the protective effects of the cysts, i.e. preventing parasite necrosis.

              Ear, nose and throat (ENT) involvement in zoonotic diseases: a systematic review.

              Zoonoses are infections transmitted from animal to man, either directly (through direct contact or contact with animal products) or indirectly (through an intermediate vector, such as an arthropod). The causative agents include bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi. The purpose of this review is to make an accurate examination of all zoonotic diseases that can be responsible of ear, nose, and throat (ENT) involvement.
