Approximately 7 cases of spontaneous regression of adult laryngeal carcinoma have been published in the literature since 1900. This case presents a 62-year-old male with a 6-month history of hoarseness who was subsequently diagnosed with a T1aN0M0 left true vocal fold squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) after biopsy. One month following the initial biopsy, histopathological findings on repeat biopsy revealed absence of malignancy and regression of the tumor without radiation. There has been no evidence of tumor recurrence. This case exemplifies how innate immune modulation may play a role in the spontaneous regression of laryngeal SCC, although the mechanism remains unknown.

Abstrak           Karsinoma laring merupakan tumor ganas kepala leher yang banyak dijumpai. Lebih dari 90% dari seluruh tumor ganas laring adalah karsinoma sel skuamosa, jika terdeteksi lebih dini maka angka keberhasilan pengobatan menjadi lebih baik. Radioterapi merupakan modalitas pilihan pada penatalaksanaan karsinoma laring stadium dini untuk mempreservasi organ dan suara. Diagnosis ditegakkan berdasarkan riwayat perjalanan penyakit, pemeriksaan fisik dan pemeriksaan patologi anatomi. Dilaporkan satu kasus laki-laki berusia 61 tahun dengan diagnosis karsinoma sel skuamosa glotis keratin berdiferensiasi baik stadium IB (T1bN0M0) yang ditatalaksana dengan radioterapi.                                                                                                                                               Kata kunci: Karsinoma sel skuamosa glotis, stadium dini, radioterapi. AbstractLaryngeal carsinoma is the common head and neck cancer. More than 90% of laryngeal cancers are squamous cell carcinoma, if the early detected the cure rate can the better. Radiotherapy is the modality for treatment of laryngeal carcinoma in the early stages to preserve the organ and voice of the patient. The clinical diagnosis is made based on history of illness, physical examination and anatomical pathology examination. Reported One case, man 61 year old, diagnosed with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma keratinized well differiamted stage IB (T1bN0M0) treated by radiotherapy. Keywords:  Glottic squamous cell carsinoma, early stage, radiotherapy.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the ampulla of Vater is a rare pathology and only few cases are reported in the literature. With limited experience of primary SCC in the ampulla of Vater, its biological behaviour, prognosis and long-term survival rates are not well known. A 38-year-old woman presented with a history of painless progressive jaundice for which self-expending metallic stent was placed 3 years back. She was evaluated and initially diagnosed as probably periampullary adenocarcinoma. She underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and histopathology with immunohistochemistry was suggestive of SCC of ampulla of Vater. She received adjuvant chemotherapy and doing well with no recurrence after 1 year of follow-up. In conclusion, SCC of the ampulla is an unusual pathology that should be kept as a differential diagnosis for periampullary tumours. Surgical treatment with curative intent should be performed whenever feasible even in the setting of bulky tumour to improve the outcome.
