Treatment of Advanced Carcinoma of the Larynx and Hypopharynx with Laser Followed by External Radiotherapy

Introduction: Radical laryngeal surgeries for extensive laryngeal and hypopharyngeal tumors often require a permanent tracheostomy, which has an immense impact on the quality of life of patients. A minimally invasive technique such as transoral laser microresection (TLM) followed by radiotherapy can preserve the functions of the voice and swallowing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the ro...

Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia: A case report with emphasis on diagnosis and treatment

Hansen et al. (1985) described proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) as a distinct entity of leukoplakia, presenting as verrucous, or exophytic lesion with progressive histological changes in sequential biopsies such as hyperkeratosis, different grades of dysplasia, verrucous carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) [1]. In 2005, the WHO defined PVL as a rare subtype of oral leukoplakia...

Oral Verrucous Carcinoma and Ameloblastoma: A Rare Coincidence

Introduction: Oral verrucous carcinoma (OVC) is a rare malignancy of the oral cavity that was first described by Ackerman. This tumor is a well-differentiated low-grade, slow growing cancer that is locally invasive without metastasis. Ameloblastoma is one of the most common odontogenic tumors, which originates from the odontogenic epithelium. Verrucous carcinoma along with central ambloblastoma...

[Verrucous carcinoma of the nasal cavity: a case report].

We report a rare case of verrucous carcinoma occurring in the nasal cavity. A 53-year-old man reporting left-sided nasal obstruction and awareness of a left intranasal lesion--a whitish polypoid lesion--was found in CT to have an expansive lesion of the left nasal cavity and maxillary sinus. The tumor was completely removed by Denker's operation. Verrucous carcinoma is a rare variant of squamou...
