The case presented is of a neonate with extreme respiratory distress immediately after birth, caused by a large laryngeal cyst. The vertical diameter of the cyst was larger than the height of the neonatal larynx. First excision of the cyst was performed in the region of the prominent aryepiglottic fold. Three weeks later, because of a recurrence of dyspnea, excision of the prominent wall of an obstructing cystic lesion was performed in the ventriculus Morgagni.

Objective: To report a case of duodenal metastasis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma revealed by acute intestinal obstruction.
Case Report: A 55-year-old male was initially treated for cT4N1M0 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, with total laryngectomy, bilateral neck dissection, total thyroidectomy and pectoralis major flap. Subsequently, he received radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Purpose: During transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy, preserving the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is a major challenge because visualization of this nerve is often obstructed by the thyroid itself, increasing the risk of serious complications. This study explores the application of an augmented reality (AR) system to facilitate easier identification of the RLN during transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy.
Methods: Three patients scheduled for transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy were enrolled in this proof-of-concept study.
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a relatively uncommon tumor among head and neck cancers, with laryngeal involvement, typically subglottic, being exceptionally rare. While ACC usually originates in the salivary glands, its occurrence in the larynx is highly unusual. Laryngeal adenoid cystic carcinoma (LACC) is characterized by indolent growth, frequent perineural invasion, and a tendency for local recurrence.

Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is a heterogeneous group of malignancies with poor survival outcomes, particularly in advanced stages. Identifying prognostic biomarkers could help improve patient management. miR-375, a small non-coding RNA, has been shown to influence tumor growth and immune responses, making it a candidate biomarker.

To investigate the impact of paratracheal lymphadenectomy on survival in patients undergoing an esophagectomy for cancer. The secondary objective was to assess the effect on short-term outcomes. Between 2011-2017, patients with an esophageal or gastroesophageal junction carcinoma treated with elective transthoracic esophagectomy with two-field lymphadenectomy were included from the Dutch Upper Gastro-intestinal Cancer Audit registry.
