Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC) still has poor outcome, and laryngeal cancer is the most frequent subtype of HNSCC. Therefore, there is a need to develop novel treatments to improve the outcome of patients with HNSCC. It is critical to gain further understanding on the molecular and chromosomal alteration of HNSCC to identify novel therapeutic targets but genetic etiology of squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx is so complex that target genes have not yet been clearly identified. Array based CGH(array-CGH) allows investigation of general changes in target oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, which should, in turn, lead to a better understanding of the cancer process. In this study, We used genomic wide array-CGH in tissue specimens to map genomic alterations found in laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas. As results, gains of MAP2, EPHA3, EVI1, LOC389174, NAALADL2, USP47, CTDP1, MASP1, AHRR, and KCNQ5, with losses of SRRM1L, ANKRD19, FLJ39303, ZNF141, DSCAM, GPR27, PROK2, ARPP-21, and B3GAT1 were observed frequently in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissue specimens. These data about the patterns of genomic alterations could be a basic step for understanding more detailed genetic events in the carcinogenesis and also provide information for diagnosis and treatment in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The high resolution of array-CGH combined with human genome database would give a chance to find out possible target genes which were gained or lost clones.

Objectives: Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) is a B-lymphotrophic virus with a tumorigenic potential. EBV infection has been recognized as the main cause of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and Burkitt's lymphoma. Bcl-2 protein expression is known to be up-regulated by the EBV-latency associated antigen latent membrane protein(LMP). The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of EBV in squamous cell carcinomas of the larynx and the relationship between the presence of EBV and bcl-2 expression. Patients and Methods: From January 1994 to December 1977, 35 patients with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx were studied. EBV genome DNA was surveyed by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) assay and then compared the results of in situ hybridization(ISH) for EBER1 using digoxigenin-tailed oligonucleotide probe. The expression of bcl-2 protein was studied by immunohistochemistry(IHC) using bcl-2 monoclonal antibody. Results: By PCR, EBV genome was detected in 22 of 35(62.9%) squamous cell carcinomas of the larynx. Nineteen of 35 cases(54.3%) showed a positive nuclear staining for EBER1 in tumor cells by ISH. Three cases showed positivity in inflammatory cells by ISH and one of them showed a positive staining of both tumor cells and inflammatory cells. Eighteen of 32 specimens(62.5%) were positive for bcl-2 protein. There was no significant correlations between the presence of EBV DNA and bcl-2 expression. Conclusions: It could be concluded that high incidence of EBV in the laryngeal cancer tissue may indicate a probable role of EBV in the development of laryngeal carcinoma.

후두실의 탈출은 Bryce 및 Cranston에 의하면 후두실 점막이 염증성 비후 또는 부종으로 인해 후두강내에 탈출된 것이라고 했다. 환자는 53세의 여자로서 1977년 3월 11일 호흡곤란과 사성의 주소를 갖고 본원에 입원하였다. 입원당시 후두소견은 가성대 하부에 표면이 평활하고 둥근 연홍색의 종물이 양측으로부터 돌출되어 기도를 거의 폐쇄하고 있었으며, 종물에는 궤양은 없었으며 주위 조직에 침윤된 소견은 볼 수 없었다. 경부에는 임파선비대를 촉진할 수 없었다. 호흡곤란이 심하여 기관절개술을 실시한 후에 직달후두경하에 조직검사를 하였으며, 검사결과는 만성염증으로 판정되었다. 1977년 4월 2일 전신마취하에 후두절개술을 시행하여 후두강을 관찰한 결과, 후두실의 앞에서 뒤까지 전역에 걸쳐 기시된 표면이 평활한 판상의 연홍색 종물이 양쪽에서 상대적으로 후두강내로 자라나와 중앙부에서는 거의 서로 맞닿아 있었다. 제거된 종물의 조직검사 결과도 술전과 같이 염증성비후로 나타났다. 수술후 경과는 양호하여 현재 호흡곤란은 완전히 소실되었고 음성은 경도의 사성을 호소할 뿐이고 후두강내에는 종물의 재발 증후는 없었다. 본증은 임상증상, 수술시의 후두강 소견 및 조직소견으로 보아 "후두실 탈출증"이라고 진단되었다. 이 후두실 탈출증은 문헌상 희소한 것으로서 일증례를 문헌적 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

후두유두종은 후두에 발생하는 병리 조직학적으로는 양성이나 임상적으로는 이비인후과 영역에서 가장 처급하기 곤란한 질환중의 하나로 일반적으로 유-소아에서 많이 볼 수 있는 질환인 것은 주지의 사실이다. 1817년 Cleesmann이 성대에 발생한 유두종을 처음 보고한 이래 그 원인에 대해서는 아직 학설이 구구하며 소아에서는 호흡곤란과 빈번한 재발에 의한 발성 장애를 일으키며 성인에서는 악성화하는 경향이 많다. 한편 치료방법도 결정적으로 효과있는 것이 없고 계속적인 절제술과 그외 여러 가지 방법을 병용하고 있는 현실로서 실제로 악성종양으로 취급되고 있다. 저자들이 경험한 본 증례도 절제술외 5-FU 국소도포를 시도한 예로써 13 년간 경과를 관찰한 결과 치료 경과도중 종양의 발생부위의 변화에 흥미를 느껴 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Tracheal cancer is rare and accounts for approximately 0.03% of all malignancies. Because of atypical symptoms, tracheal cancer can be misdiagnosed as obstructive lung disease, or tumors of thyroid or lung. Among patients of previous head and neck cancer, other primary cancer may accompany which called "econd primary cancer". We report a case of patient with tracheal cancer 3 years after definite radiation therapy of laryngeal cancer with a review of related literatures.

Granular cell tumor is an uncommon lesion that was first described by Abrikossoff in 1926. It is usually benign tumor that can occur in any parts of the body. The most common region of granular cell tumor is the head and neck, accounting for approximately 30 to 50 percent of all lesions, with the tongue as the single most common site of origin. The larynx is uncommon location, accounting for approximately 3 to 10 percent of the reported case. Herein we report a case of a 41-year-old man with laryngeal granular cell tumor who was successfully treated, especially showing well improvements in his voice after the operation. In addition, a brief discussion of the current literatures regarding the typical features of the tumor are also presented.

The syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion(SIADH) is a clinical disorder in which there is continual release of antidiuretic hormone(ADH) unrelated to plasma osmolality. It may occur usually in association with malignant tumors below the clavicle and other pulmonary disorders which are capable of synthesizing, storing and releasing ADH into the circulation but rarely with the head and neck tumors yet. We experienced a patient with unexplained hyponatremia associated with laryngeal carcinoma. The clinical and laboratory diagnostic studies suggested that patient's sodium deficiency was secondary to the SIADH. Subsequent resection of the neoplasm, total laryngectomy led to resolution of hyponatremia, suggesting that a tumor associated humoral factor, such as vasopressin or vasopressin like substance, was responsible for the electrolyte disturbance.

A transhiatal esophagectomy without thoracotomy and esophageal reconstruction with gastric transponsition was performed in a recurrent laryngeal carcinoma spread to cervical esophagus. There were several benefits to performing this method: 1) It could be performed in one stage, took shorter operating time, and provided safe and efficient palliation in the patient with esophageal carcinoma. 2) The possible maximum surgical margin was obtained and the incidence of suture line tumor recurrence was minimized. 3) Postoperative death from anastomotic disruption and secondary mediastinitis and sepsis were virtually eliminated. 4) Clinically significant gastroesophageal reflux rarely occured.

Bilateral vocal cord palsy (BVCP) present a challenging condition which result from various etiologies including iatrogenic recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, progressive neurological disorder, intubation, trauma, tumor and idiopathic cause. Careful history taking, laryngoscopic evaluation, laryngeal EMG, and imaging studies are helpful for providing a precise diagnosis and planning appropriate treatment. BVCP causes airway restriction and not vocal dysfunction. In patients with BVFP, treatment is directed at maximizing the airway, while attempting to limit the negative effects of treatment on vocal function. A variety of surgical procedures are available for mangement of BVCP. The most conservative, limited procedure should be selected initially, and then further surgery and more extensive surgery can be tailored to the patient's airway and voice needs. This review will address the etiology, diagnosis, and managements of BVCP.

Inverted papilloma is a rare benign tumor which usually arises from sinonasal mucosa. We experienced a case of 62-year-old male who presented with foreign body sensation in throat. A round mass was found at right false vocal cord in laryngoscopic examination. It was excised in laryngeal microsurgery. The pathologic diagnosis was inverted papilloma of false vocal cord. Recurrence or complication did not occur during the follow up period of three months.
