Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is a rare disease that can be accompanied by various clinical symptoms in addition to basal cell carcinoma. Cancers usually occur at an earlier age or later in multiple areas. According to a recent study, genetic mutations are highly suspected as the cause of the syndrome. Since this gene mutation is inherited as an autosomal dominant, it must be accompanied by a screening test for the patient's family along with the patient's treatment. In this study, we was experienced a patient diagnosed with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome after genetic mutation was confirmed, so it is reported along with a review of the literature.

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is main subtype of primary thyroid lymphoma and can be histologically transformed from a low-grade B-cell lymphoma. The characteristics and treatment guidelines of these particular DLBCL have not been fully established. The mainstay of treatment of primary thyroid DLBCL is multimodality treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Meanwhile, surgery can be considered only for diagnosis or alleviation of airway compressive symptoms.A 57-year-old female visited our outpatient clinic for recently enlarged long-held anterior neck mass. A thyroid mass compressing the airway and esophagus was identified on imaging, which was diagnosed as MALT lymphoma by excisional biopsy. After staging, the patient underwent total thyroidectomy with regional lymph node dissection for treatment of stage IIE MALT lymphoma and relieving airway compromise symptoms. The final diagnosis was DLBCL transformed from MALT Lymphoma, and chemotherapy was additionally performed. We report this rare experience with a review of literature.

A 65-year-old patient who underwent total thyroidectomy 10 years ago was suspected of having a parathyroid adenoma, and minimally invasive parathyroidectomy was planned. Preoperative ultrasonography(USG) and 99mTc MIBI scan indicated a left lower parathyroid lesion. In the first operation, intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring (IOPTH) was not possible due to hospital circumstances. Although no adenomatous lesion was found in the expected surgical field, surgery was completed after removing lesions around the left lower parathyroid gland. However, post-surgery, parathyroid hormone did not decrease at all, so a second operation was performed with IOPTH preparation. In the second operation, intraoperative ultrasonography was performed, and a suspected adenoma lesion was removed from the left upper lesion. He has been under follow-up for 3 years without complications. Surgeon-peformed intraoperative USG and preoperative scintigraphy had advantages in determining the localization of parathyroid lesion even withiout IOPTH.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is one of the soft tissue sarcoma believed to originate from neural crest cells. The patients with neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) have about 8-13% of the lifetime risk of the malignant transformation. Neurofibroma on patients with NF1 can be surgically resected and has good prognosis if approach to the tumor is possible. We experienced a case of a 50-year-old woman with NF who had incompletely resected neurofibroma, which presented a rapid malignant transformation to MPNST, 3 months after the first surgery. We reported this case with a brief review of literature.

Lower lip reconstruction in cases with a full-thickness defect over one-third of the vermilion is challenging. Numerous conventional techniques have been applied with unsatisfactory surgical outcomes because of microstomia and oral commissure blunting due to shortened horizontal lip length. Herein, we present a case in which a full-thickness lower lip defect of more than one-third of the horizontal lip length was covered with a novel mucosal roofing flap reconstruction to minimize the loss of horizontal lip length and to preserve mouth opening. No recurrences or metastases were observed during 3 years and 6 months of follow-up, with horizontal lower lip length maintained and mouth opening of 2.5 finger breadths.

Ewing sarcoma is a rare tumor in head and neck area. We demonstrate a rare case of sinonasal Ewing sarcoma initially suspected as olfactory neuroblastoma. After the surgery and immunohistochemical studies, it was accurately diagnosed as Ewing sarcoma. We would like to emphasize the possibility that Ewing sarcoma may originate from the head and neck area, and hence, it is important to use appropriate techniques for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

The aging population, particularly those aged 65 and above, is on the rise, with projections indicating a substantial increase in the elderly demographic. This demographic shift brings challenges in managing age-related diseases, including head and neck cancers (HNCs). Frailty, often characterized by physiological decline and vulnerability to stressors, is a crucial factor affecting treatment outcomes of elderly cancer patients. Accordingly, the significance of assessing frailty in elderly HNC patients before their treatment should be emphasized, but current frailty assessment tools may not fully capture the unique challenges faced by HNC patients. Specific indicators, including respiratory and swallowing functions, are proposed for a more tailored assessment. This comprehensive review explores the impact of frailty on various treatment modalities, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, highlighting the need for personalized interventions. Furthermore, it suggests avenues for future research to enhance frailty assessment tools and investigate interventions aimed at improving treatment outcomes in elderly HNC patients.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the lip is a common malignant tumor originating from oral cancer. However, unlike other areas, the lips hold significant functional and aesthetic importance as a part of the face. As a result, a tailored approach based on the tumor's size, type, and location is essential. The Karapandzic flap is especially suitable for reconstructing lesions located on the lip, particularly when the size of the cancer is large and other surgical treatments like free flaps are not feasible. It allows for extensive resection beyond the size of the lower lip. In this case, considering the patient's overall condition, successful reconstruction of the lower lip was achieved using the Karapandzic flap.

Adult fibrosarcoma is a malignant tumor comprising of spindle-shaped fibroblasts with variable collagen production. Due to their aggressive nature and high probability of local tumor recurrence, these tumors require accurate diagnosis and resection according to guidelines. A 57-year-old male presented to the clinic with a complaint of a palpable growing mass in the left scapular area. Examination of the back revealed a 6 cm protruding tumor with a nodular surface. We performed a wide excision, including the infraspinatus fascia layer and subsequent reconstruction using a parascapular island flap. Histopathological analysis demonstrated the typical microscopic features of adult fibrosarcoma. At the 3-year follow-up, there was no evidence of local recurrence and the resection margin was completely clear of tumor.

We report a unique case of hemangioma of the nasal cavity in von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome. A 26-year-old female with VHL syndrome who had previously undergone surgery for pancreatic and adrenal mass presented with a 4-month history of left-sided nasal obstruction. The patient had an expansile mass lesion in the left nasal cavity and an imaging test demonstrated the mass in the left maxillary sinus extending to the nasal cavity. The tumor was removed with an endoscopic prelacrimal recess approach considering the possibility of not only a benign tumor such as hemangioma but also a malignant tumor of the maxillary sinus and histopathologic examination confirmed cavernous hemangioma. This case is the rarely reported manifestation of the paranasal sinus in VHL disease.
