Post Surgery

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the most common malignant head and neck cancer, with a 40% recurrence rate in the first 3 years after radical treatment. Recurrence of LSCC mostly comprises lymphogenous metastasis, hematogenic metastasis, and locoregional recurrence, while LSCC seeding is rarest: there are only 4 cases reported in PubMed, and none of them is one of subcutaneous seeding. We report a case with post-surgery subcutaneous seeding of LSCC. The final biopsy demonstrated that the subcutaneous seeding of the LSCC was 2 cm away from the primary lesion, with no recurrent foci observed in the larynx and tracheostoma and little relation to the primary lesion. Thus, we drew the conclusion that LSCC surgeries should stick to the principle of the non-tumor technique to prevent subcutaneous seeding.

Supraglottic Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Objective. Advanced primary supraglottic tumors (i.e., T3 or T4) have traditionally been treated surgically and postoperative radiotherapy. In the last 2 decades, some patients were treated with chemoradiation avoiding surgery.Case Report. We describe a 55-year old female who presented with respiratory distress and paraplegia seven years after treatment for a T3N0M0 supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma. CT scan showed prevertebral and intraspinal air descending from C4 to D3 vertebras. Epidural and prevertebral abscesses were confirmed by neck exploration. Necrosis was observed in the retropharyngeal, prevertebral, and vertebral tissues.Conclusion. Prevertebral and spinal abscess may result from chemotherapy and radiotherapy to the head and neck. Physicians caring for head and neck cancer patients treated with chemotherapy and radiation should be aware of this rare severe complication.

Rare Case Report

Abstract Background Spontaneous regression of squamous cell carcinoma is extremely rare and a very challenging phenomenon. Here, we are presenting such a rare case of biopsy-proven laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent tracheostomy and later the growth regressed without any treatment. Case presentation A histologically proven laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma where the tumour initially leads to the tracheostomy as it compromised the airway and later on the patient presented with the accidental decannulation and the laryngoscopy showed regression of the tumour to the extent that the patient did not require retracheostomy before undergoing radiotherapy. Here, vascular insufficiency of large tumour could have necrosed the tumour along with other factors. Conclusion This case shows the existence of endogenous control in the host against the tumour. A greater understanding of these controlling factors may help us in the future.

Increased Risk

ObjectiveFirefighters are exposed to a wide variety of carcinogens during the line of duty, including several associated with head and neck cancer. Existing studies assessing head and neck cancer risk with firefighting have predominately included occupational cohorts or registry data, which are limited by inability to adjust for smoking and alcohol consumption—major risk factors for head and neck cancer. Our objective was to assess the risk of head and neck cancer among men with an occupational history as a firefighter.MethodsThis work was conducted using male subjects from a large population-based case–control study of head and neck cancer from the greater Boston area using self-reported occupational history (718 cases and 905 controls).ResultsAn occupational history as a firefighter was reported for 11 cases and 14 controls. Although no significant association was observed overall, we observed substantial increased risk for hypopharyngeal and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma among professional municipal firefighters who had a light or no smoking history (OR=8.06, 95% CI 1.74 to 37.41), with significantly increasing risk per decade as a firefighter (OR=2.10, 95% CI 1.06 to 4.14).ConclusionProfessional municipal firefighters may be at increased risk for hypopharyngeal and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma due to carcinogenic exposures encountered during the line of duty.

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.
