Verrucous carcinoma of the scrotum is an extremely rare disease and most cases are thought to result from poor hygiene and chronic inflammation. Currently, it has not been well characterized, the etiology, diagnosis and treatment remaining poorly understood. We present the case of a 50-year-old male patient diagnosed with verrucous carcinoma of the right hemiscrotum. Wide surgical excision was performed. Favorable outcomes can be achieved by surgery, even without any adjuvant therapy, but patients should be carefully followed up.

Laser Excision

Sixteen patients with T1 vocal cord squamous cell carcinoma were treated with endoscopic laser excision during a 4-year period. Laser excision was the initial treatment in 11 patients, and it was used to treat 5 patients who had recurrence after radiotherapy. Postoperatively, 13 (81%) of the 16 patients had normal voices. Two patients with persistent postoperative hoarseness had had anterior commissure lesions and previous radiotherapy; the other patient had a subtotal cordectomy. One patient developed a subsequent new lesion 27 months after the initial laser treatment; he was successfully managed with a second endoscopic laser excision. Involvement of the anterior commissure or involvement of the vocal process with minimally invasive disease proved not to be a contraindication to laser excision. The overall results in this small series suggest that laser excision of T1 vocal cord carcinoma is an excellent method of treatment.

Background and Objective: Verrucous carcinoma is a rare clinicopathologic entity caused by multifactorial influences. We report here a 64-year-old male patient presenting with a large exophytic mass in the right leg. Results and Conclusion: The patient had a 19-year duration of psoriasis and received various treatments. In his last year of life, he had been taking an illegally produced folk drug with the hope of controlling his psoriasis. However, 6 months after the drug ingestion, many papules appeared on his right leg, which eventually developed into a large tumor in the next few months. The patient died of acute pulmonary embolism only a week after hospitalization, when his tumor was pathologically confirmed as verrucous carcinoma. Later, the folk drug was analyzed and found to contain arsenic. The causative relevance of the tumor with his daily arsenic intake is discussed. Contexte et objectif: Le carcinome verruqueux est une entité clinicopathologique rare, causée par divers facteurs. Nous exposons ici le cas d'un homme de 64 ans, qui a consulté pour une grosse masse exophytique sur la jambe droite. Résultats et conclusions: Le patient souffrait de psoriasis depuis 19 ans et a été soumis à divers traitements. Au cours de sa dernière année de vie, il a pris un remède empirique traditionnel, illégal, dans l'espoir de soulager le psoriasis. Cependant, 6 mois après la consommation du remède, de nombreuses papules sont apparues sur la jambe droite, et ont fini par former une grosse tumeur au cours des mois suivants. Le patient est mort d'une embolie pulmonaire aiguë, une semaine seulement après son hospitalisation, lorsque l'examen histopathologique de la tumeur a révélé qu'il s'agissait d'un carcinome verruqueux. Le remède a été analysé plus tard, et il s'est avéré que celui-ci contenait de l'arsenic. Le lien de cause à effet entre la tumeur et la consommation quotidienne d'arsenic fera l'objet de discussion.

Hereditary Leiomyomatosis

Abstract Background The objective of this study is to discuss clinical characteristics and treatments of hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma on the basis of 2 cases and to review recent literature, in order to present medical advances. Methods A 29-year old male patient came to our hospital because of a huge tumour on the right kidney. Enhanced CT showed that the tumour was about 15.5*10.5 cm, and was considered to be malignant. Another case was a 38-year old female patient. She complained was found to have a right kidney tumour in a routine physical examination. Enhanced CT showed an early-stage tumour of about 4.3*3.7 cm on the lower pole of the right kidney. The male patient underwent open radical nephrectomy and the female patient underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and extensive retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. The two patients underwent genetic testing and were diagnosed as having hereditary leiomyomatosis with renal cell carcinoma. Results The postoperative pathology in both patients revealed type 2 papillary renal cell carcinoma but with different prognosis. The male patient suffered multiple metastasis 10 months post-operation. The metastatic tumour of the abdominal wall was resected to confirm recurrence and hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma was diagnosed by the genetic test. While the female patient had a specific family history and uterine leiomyomas, the genetic test helped us to identify hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma pre-operation. Because of the early diagnosis and timely treatment, the female patient was considered to have a good prognosis. Conclusion Hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma is a rare hereditary disease resulting from FH gene mutation. There are currently no effective treatments.Our cases demonstrate that hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma is a very aggressive disease. Early screening and surveillance are recommended for patients with a family history or who are at risk of hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma. Surgical and palliative therapy still play an important role in clinical treatment.

This report analyzes the experience gained using two different techniques to reinnervate the paralyzed vocal cord. In the neurotization group, the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) motor branch–cricothyroid muscle pedicle was used to reinnervate the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle. In the direct nerve anastomosis group, the SLN was anastomosed to the abductor branch of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), and the ansa hypoglossi (AH) to the adductor branch of the RLN. A third group of animals (control) had the right RLN sectioned without any anastomosis. About 5 to 6 months postoperatively the animals were killed painlessly and evaluated. The neurotization group revealed vocal fold mobilization on the right side to have an average of about half of the mobility of the left, normal side. After the RLN and SLN on the left were severed as well as the AH bilaterally, the vocal cord mobility was reduced to about one fourth. The direct nerve anastomosis group showed about fourfold less vocal cord mobility than the neurotization group. After the SLN, RLN, and AH were severed bilaterally, the control group showed no vocal cord mobility. The neurotization technique has been selected for further experimentation in human adults.

Unilateral Vocal Cord Paralysis

Five cases of unilateral vocal cord paralysis/ paresis were diagnosed following extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for newborn respiratory failure. All were right sided and transient in nature. None of the five patients had other findings commonly associated with vocal cord palsy. The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation procedure requires surgical dissection in the carotid sheath on the right side of the neck, an area immediately adjacent to both the vagus and recurrent laryngeal nerve. It is speculated that vocal cord paralysis in these infants was acquired as a result of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannulation. Although the vocal cord paralysis resolved in all cases, two patients had difficult courses after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Therefore, laryngoscopic examination should be considered for patients after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
