The cervicofacial localization is the most common. The aim of this report case was to show a rare case of nasal localization, to the 48-year old patient, treated in poor medical condition. <strong>Case presentation:</strong> The patient consults late with enormous nasal mass involving for five years. After biopsy and facial CT-scan, a surgical procedure was performed. The evolution was good and the final pathology confirms the diagnosis. The objective of this case report was to show the originality of the presentation and the difficulties for management in poor medical environment. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Abrikossof’s tumor is a rare benign tumor but whose preferential development occurs at the expense of the ENT sphere. Large forms remain the preserve of poor environments. The diagnosis is pathological and the treatment is surgical.展开更多

It is secondary in 70% of cases to the innominate artery fistula in the tracheal lumen. The fistula is generally created after the necrosis of tracheal rings. The incriminated factors are the type of cannula used, the site of tracheal opening below the 3rd tracheal ring, tracheal infections and the proximity of the innominate artery to the tracheal axis. The outcome of this incident is fatal in most cases. We report the case of a 59-year-old patient with a tracheostomy on the 11th day of his admission to intensive care for severe head trauma secondary to a road accident. On the 22nd day of his admission, the occurrence of a cataclysmic and fatal haemorrhage through the tracheostomy tube evoked an arterio-tracheal fistula of the innominate artery.展开更多
