Abstract Background Spontaneous regression of squamous cell carcinoma is extremely rare and a very challenging phenomenon. Here, we are presenting such a rare case of biopsy-proven laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent tracheostomy and later the growth regressed without any treatment. Case presentation A histologically proven laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma where the tumour initially leads to the tracheostomy as it compromised the airway and later on the patient presented with the accidental decannulation and the laryngoscopy showed regression of the tumour to the extent that the patient did not require retracheostomy before undergoing radiotherapy. Here, vascular insufficiency of large tumour could have necrosed the tumour along with other factors. Conclusion This case shows the existence of endogenous control in the host against the tumour. A greater understanding of these controlling factors may help us in the future.

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the most common malignant head and neck cancer, with a 40% recurrence rate in the first 3 years after radical treatment. Recurrence of LSCC mostly comprises lymphogenous metastasis, hematogenic metastasis, and locoregional recurrence, while LSCC seeding is rarest: there are only 4 cases reported in PubMed, and none of them is one of subcutaneous seeding. We report a case with post-surgery subcutaneous seeding of LSCC. The final biopsy demonstrated that the subcutaneous seeding of the LSCC was 2 cm away from the primary lesion, with no recurrent foci observed in the larynx and tracheostoma and little relation to the primary lesion. Thus, we drew the conclusion that LSCC surgeries should stick to the principle of the non-tumor technique to prevent subcutaneous seeding.

We present a case with penile and intramuscular metastases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. A 61-year-old male had undergone a total esophagectomy and later developed metastatic nodules of the penis and intramuscular metastasis of the thigh. We believe this is the first report of this rare case. We describe the clinical manifestation and offer therapeutic regimen; we also summarize the relevant literature.

Oral cancer is the sixth most common malignancy in the world and third most common in southeast Asia. When it does occur, it is most commonly seen on the tongue or lip. Cancers of the gingivobuccal sulcus are uncommon and reported infrequently. Here we report a case of 35 years female diagnosed with adenoid squamous cell carcinoma of right gingivobuccal sulcus. Most of these cancers are locally advanced stage due to delay in presentation and ignorance of population.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v6i3.10793Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.6(3) 2015 94-96
