Background: Adenomas are rarely diagnosed in the appendix and may be isolated or may coexist with other neoplasms in the gastrointestinal tract. This emphasizes the need for postoperative colonoscopy when a polyp of the appendix is found. Moreover, the polyps are considered to be premalignant lesions.
Aim: Report two new cases of adenomas of the appendix.
Cases: We report the cases of 23-year-old and 22-year-old men, for whom appendicectomy performed for acute appendicitis. In both cases, histologic studies revealed adenomas in moderate dysplasia ; colonoscopy did not reveal any polyps.

The prognosis for T2N0 glottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is generally favorable, with a 5-year overall survival rate of 79%-96% achieved with radiotherapy (RT), the standard nonsurgical treatment for this condition. However, the local control rate for T2N0 glottic SCC treated with RT remains suboptimal, with a 5-year local control rate of only 65%-80%. Local residual disease or recurrence following RT for T2N0 glottic SCC often leads to difficulties in laryngeal preservation.
