Even though the global incidence of tuberculosis (TB) has been showing a declining trend every year, it is still a significant public health problem in India. On the other hand, cancer has also been the reason for considerable mortality and morbidity across this population. The incidence of TB has been reportedly increasing in patients with both pulmonary and non-pulmonary cancers. Incidence of pulmonary TB in head and neck malignancy is around 3.1% to 6.6%. We present a case history of 50 years old with locally advanced recurrent head and neck malignancy with active pulmonary Koch’s. The decision was to provide him supportive care and treating the infection was pragmatic in spite of expected delay in anti-cancer treatment. It is extremely important to come up with a proper protocol for the need of prophylactic treatment, detection and the concurrent treatment of both cancer and TB.

Neutrophilic febrile dermatosis (NFD) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome that may be found in patients with head and neck cancer. NFD may appear before the neoplasia and may only concern the dorsal faces of the hands. This article reports the NFD findings of a patient with pharyngeal cancer, which was developed 2 years after the occurrence of NFD. The development of NFD in patient with alcohol and tobacco consumption should lead otolaryngologists and dermatologists to suspect head and neck malignancy. In cases of normal otolaryngological examination, patients have to be followed.
