AbstractBackgroundPatients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia are at an elevated risk of further malignancy. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma often presents with cervical lymph node metastasis, and can pose a diagnostic challenge in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukaemia who may have pre-existing palpable neck nodes.MethodsA retrospective case review of a health board was conducted to identify patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with a previous diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.ResultsFour patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that developed after non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukaemia were identified. Two patients had a background of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with chemotherapy. The remaining two patients had a background of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia under active surveillance. Three out of the four patients died within 30 months of diagnosis.ConclusionHead and neck squamous cell carcinoma following non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is aggressive. A heightened clinical suspicion is essential to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in patients with dual pathology.

Second Primaries

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is one of the most frequent malignancies in the head and neck region. The risk of multiple malignancies is reported as 2–11 per cent and most of the second primaries are SCCs. Lymphogenic tumours as second primaries are extremely rare. In this paper, we report a case of laryngeal SCC with synchronous non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and review the literature on the clinical and histopathological aspects of these malignancies.

ABSTRACT The occurrence of two malignant lesions synchronously of different histology at same anatomical region of the patient is a rare presentation. Coexistence of squamous cell carcinoma and malignant lymphoma of head and neck region synchronously is uncommon. Here is a report of case of 65 years old female patient who presented with a mass in right side of neck and in midline of neck of 2 months duration. After thorough work up, the patient was diagnosed as having squamous cell carcinoma of right side base of tongue and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of thyroid. The patient was treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. How to cite this article Kaur P, Khurana A, Chauhan AK, Singh G, Kataria SP.

High Tendency

AbstractWe describe multiple cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck in five patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). When associated with CLL, cutaneous squamous cell carcinomata behave in a much more aggressive manner than otherwise expected. Four patients developed local recurrence after primary treatment. All five patients developed lymph node metastases containing squamous cell carcinoma. Three of five patients (60 per cent) had multiple primary lesions.Whereas the increased incidence of second cancers in CLL and notably of skin cancers is documented, little has been written to describe the aggressive behaviour of these tumours. It is important, when treating these patients, to be aware of the high tendency towards local recurrence and lymph node metastasis and to consider an aggressive management plan and careful follow-up.
