Primary squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck usually metastasizes to the regional lymph node, lung, and bone. Ophthalmic metastasis in squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck is uncommon. Most of the ophthalmic metastasis is due to the carcinoma of the breast and lung. Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity with metastasis to the eye has not yet been documented. We are presenting herew...

Purpose. Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has increased in popularity in the management of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. However, TORS does not address the neck or retropharyngeal nodes (RPN). In the current report, we highlight the impact of the lack of adjuvant radiotherapy on RPN recurrence after TORS. Materials and Methods. A 58-year-old Caucasian male presented with squamou...

AIM The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the ability of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) in the detection of synchronous cancers during staging workup for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective chart review of 426 Taiwanese patients with esophageal cancer who received FDG-PET/CT d...

UNLABELLED Gene variability related to carcinogen activation and detoxification may interfere with susceptibility to head and neck cancer. AIM To investigate the relation between GSTT1 and GSTM1 null polymorphisms and the risk of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in cigarette smokers. MATERIAL AND METHOD A case-control study conducted at the Sao Jose do Rio Preto Medical School, Brazil....

Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) is a broad category of cancer, comprises cancer that origin into oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, sinuses salivary gland. Majority cases reported in Pakistan are metastatic to with morphology squamous cell carcinoma. Locally advance, un-resectable tumors treated systemic therapies. Commonly prescribe therapies includes chemotherapy targeted therapy. However, the most pre...

BACKGROUND Dynamic predictions on head and neck cancer survival could offer, besides improved patient counseling, insight into long-term effects of tumor- and patient-based characteristics on survival. Theoretically, there could be a certain time period after diagnosis after which the patient returns to a population risk on survival. METHODS In all, 7255 patients with a primary head and neck ...

Neck abscess and deep neck infections are common diseases. Primary head and neck cancers may present initially with neck abscesses or deep neck infections. This presentation leads to delay of the diagnosis of underlying cancer. Head and neck cancers which present with deep neck infection initially have rarely been described. We report a case with relapsing deep neck infection who was diagnosed ...

Adenosquamous carcinoma is a rare distinct clinicopathological entity characterized histopathologically by components of both squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma [1]. This type of carcinoma is described in a variety of sites, including lung, pancreas, and uterine cervix, while the head and neck region is a relatively rare origin for this type of tumor [1]. The existence of adenosquamous ...
