Background and Objectives: Supraglottic cancer have a great tendency to spread cervical lymph nodes and lymph node metastasis is a well known prognostic factor. However the treatment for N0 neck in supraglottic cancer is still controversial. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed our neck management of supraglottic cancer patients who present with cN0 contralateral neck from 1989 through 1997. 36 patients were eligible for analysis. The primary site was surgically removed and the neck was managed by elective neck irradiation (ENI), elective neck dissection (END), or therapeutic neck dissection (TND) with postoperative radiation therapy (PORT). Results: Our results revealed that 18 of 36 patients have clinically negative neck, another 18 patients have clinically positive neck (N1-3). In clinically negative group, 12 of 18 patients were received ENI and there was 1 failure in contralateral neck area. Remaining 6 patients were received END with PORT and there was no failure. In clinically positive neck group, 3 of 18 patients were received ipsilateral TND and an additional contralateral END with PORT. Remaining 15 patients who were received TND with PORT, developed 3 neck failure. Conclusion: ENI or ipsilateral or bilateral END can be done in the cN0 neck of supraglottic cancer however ipsilateral TND and contralateral END with PORT is reasonable for the cN(+) neck.

Background and Objectives: Recently the tenn 'papillary microcarcinoma' has been proposed to designate carcinoma of 10 mm or less in diameter. In some cases, cervical lymph node metastasis preceding the occurrence of the primary tumor may be the first and sole manifestation of the disease. The objective of this study is to assess the clinical features of cervical metastasis in papillary microcarcinoma of thyroid glands. Materials and Methods: 9 cases with papillary microcarcinoma with neck metastasis were analyzed retrospectively. 5 cases are men and 4 are women. All patients complained of painless, movable neck mass. The symptom had been present from 1 month to 36 months. We reviewed clinical history, imaging studies, the results of fine needle aspiration, the surgical method, the pathologic results. Results: In 9 cases, no abnormalities of the thyroid gland were shown by imaging studies and thyroid scan. 3 cases were diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. the others were not. Total thyroidectomy and neck dissection were performed in 9 cases and then pathology reports showed 2 case of multiple, 2 case of contralateral single and 5 cases of unilateral single thyroid microcarcinoma. They have no recurrence during follow-up period. Conclusions: Cervical metastasis from papillary microcarcinoma is variable clinical manifestation. The diagnosis of cervical metastasis from papillary microcarcinoma should be considered in patient with neck mass. We recommend total thyroidectomy with neck dissection and postoperative radioactive iodine ablation therapy in neck metastasis from papillary thyroid microcarcinoma.

Background Most patients with head and neck cancer successfully undergo oncologic resection followed by free or local flap reconstruction, depending on the tumor's size and location. Despite effective curative resection and reconstruction, head and neck cancer patients still face a high risk of recurrence and the possibility of a second primary cancer. Moreover, surgeons hesitate to perform sequential reconstruction following curative resection for several reasons. Few large-scale studies on this subject are available. Therefore, we retrospectively evaluated the outcome of sequential head and neck reconstruction to determine the possible risks. Methods In total, 467 patients underwent head and neck reconstruction following cancer resection at our center from 2008 to 2017. Of these cases, we retrospectively reviewed the demographic and clinical features of 58 who had sequential head and neck reconstruction following resection of recurrent cancer. Results Our study included 43 males (74.1%) and 15 females (25.9%). The mean age at the initial operation was $55.4{\pm}15.3years$, while the mean age at the most recent operation was $59.0{\pm}14.3years$. The interval between the first and second operations was $49.2{\pm}62.4months$. Twelve patients (20.7%) underwent surgery on the tongue, and 12 (20.7%) had procedures on the oropharynx. Thirty-four patients (58.6%) received a sequential free flap reconstruction, and 24 patients (41.4%) were treated using locoregional flaps. No cases of flap failure occurred. Conclusions Our findings suggest that patients who need additional operations with recurrent head and neck cancer could optimally benefit from sequential curative resections and reconstructions.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland is an extremely rare primary neoplasm, comprising only 1.1% of all primary thyroid cancers. The cancer is characterized by rapidly progressive clinical course in spite of its differentiated morphologic feature. Histogenetic origin of the cancer has also been debated. In most cases, a squamous epithelium is believed to be a result of metaplasia of a follicullar epithelium, although in rare exceptions, it can originate from a remnant of the thyroglossal duct or ultimobrachial body. Squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid can occur in a pure form or mixed with adenocarcinoma; the latter may be designated as adenoacanthoma. Because this lesion typically runs a fulminant course, radical surgical resection at the earliest opportunity offers the best hope for cure. The lesions are usually radioresistant, and chemotherapy has not been shown to alter the course of this disease. We experienced a case of squamous carcinoma of the thyroid. This report summarize our experience and review of the literatures.

악성 신경초종의 두경부 영역에서의 발생은 극히 드물다. 대부분의 종양은 급속도로 커져가는 무통성 종물로서 발견되며, 그 증상은 대개 종물의 국소적 팽윤에 기인한다. 약 반수의 경우에서 본 레클링하우젠씨 병과 동반된다. 광범위한 외과적 절제술이 일반적으로 권장되는 일차 치료법이며, 최근 수술후 방사선치료를 이에 포함시키고 있다. 두경부 영역에서 발생한 악성 신경초종의 예후는 특히 나쁜 것으로 보고되어 왔으나, 최근에는 수술후 방사선 치료를 포함한 적절한 치료를 시행함으로써 생존율의 증가가 가능하게 되었다. 저자들은 사골동과 후두 등 희귀한 위치에 발생한 악성 신경초종 2례를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고 하는 바이다.

This paper presents the results of integrity assessment for the cracks happened in reactor vessel upper head penetration nozzles. The crack morphology for a boat sample from crack area was analyzed through microscope. The stress condition including weld residual stress around crack was analyzed using finite element analysis. From the results of crack morphology and stress condition, the crack was concluded as primary water stress corrosion cracking. The integrity of the cracked nozzle was assessed by the methodology provided in ASME Section XI. According to the assessment results, the remaining life of the cracked nozzle was 1.43 yrs. and the plant decided to repair it.

There are many approaches in surgery of posterior hypopharyngeal wall cancer according to location, extent, and invasion depth of primary cancer. And many reconstruction methods have been used in reconstruction of surgical defect remaining after wide resection of primary cancer. Posterior hypopharyngeal wall cancer is relatively rare, so its surgical experiences are fewer than those of pyriform sinus cancer and there have been few reports of surgical approaches and reconstruction methods of posterior hypopharyngeal wall cancer. Recently, we experienced a case of posterior hypopharyngeal wall cancer reconstructed with longus colli flap and skin graft after failure of radial forearm free flap in a 72-year -old man and report it with the review of the literatures.
