Frequently seen in young individuals and typically treated with surgery at first. Interferon and radiotherapy are commonly used as treatments, especially during the adjuvant phase. Prognostic factors are decided by the initial treatment and the type of histology. We present a case of a patient who received adjuvant radiotherapy following a partial resection in our department. After 4 months of monitoring, we saw a significant improvement in the neurological symptoms, however the right central facial paralysis persisted primarily because the patient did not consistently attend motor physiotherapy sessions for facial re-education.

In addition to a slow clinical course, this histology has a predilection for perineural invasion and a tendency for local and distant recurrence. Most patients present with dyspnea and symptoms often mimic those of asthma or chronic bronchitis. Although surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment, tumour size and location, comorbidities and patient reluctance may prevent surgery. Furthermore, the recognized chemoresistance of this histological type means that radiotherapy, whether definitive or adjuvant, plays a major role in its management. We report the case of a 30-year-old patient treated in our department with definitive chemoradiotherapy.

Diagnosis is based essentially on histological and immunohistochemical studies. Standard treatment is surgery combined with radiotherapy if there is a prognostic factor for local recurrence. We report a case treated in our department. Observation: A 24-year-old female patient with no specific pathological history consulted the Joliot Curie Institute of the Dantec Hospital for a forehead nodule that appeared in 2012 and was painless, evolving towards February 2021 into two right temporo-maxillary masses progressively increasing in volume. Examination revealed two tumors of stony consistency, with smooth, ulcerated surface, infiltrated center, raised borders, budding, not bleeding on contact, painless, the largest measuring approximately 16cm, located at the temporofrontal and right parotid level with extension to the right auricle associated with homolateral periorbital edema and right retroauricular...

Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study, conducted at the Joliot Curie Institute of Aristide le Dantec hospital over a 30 months period from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2022. Results: 231 ENT cancers were collected in our study, with a mean age of 51 years [11; 93]. Females predominated with a sex ratio of 0.88. Alcoholism was noted in 15.1% of cases. Smoking was noted in 23.8%. Alcohol smoking predominated in laryngeal cancer. The oral cavity was the most frequent site (44.6%). The histological nature of the cancers was dominated by squamous cell carcinoma (93.5%). Stages III and IV were in the majority: 62.8% and 23.8% of cases respectively. Neoadjuvant surgery was performed in 11.9% of cases. Chemotherapy was used in 65.1% of cases (including 90.2% for induction). Radiotherapy was used in ...
