Comparative Study
According to recent advances it is assumed that the gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is a possible co-promoting factor of the squamous-cell carcinoma development in the upper parts of the gastro-intestinal and respiratory systems, considering the higher frequency of lesions due to acid in the studied population interested by GER. The aim of this study is to investigate 274 patients with malignant neoplasm of the oral cavity, of the pharynx and of the larynx, by esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD) and to compare the incidence of GER in this group with a control group of healthy patients from their hospital. Acid exposure in the upper level of the esophagus often remains unknown using traditional pH-monitoring, especially if no pharyngeal probe is used. When necessary a good diagnostic test is EGD with mucosa biopsy; it allows to directly examine the lesion. We retrospectively studied the data of 274 patients suffering from a cancer of the upper aero-digestive tracts by EGD in order to diagnose lesions caused by GER. We compared non-smoking patients affected by GER and tumours a control group of healthy patients. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between the two groups using the z-Test (p = 0.0001). In our study, based on endoscopic data, we observed a high percentage of non-smoking patients affected by GER and squamous-cell carcinoma of the upper parts of the airways and the gastrointestinal system. For this reason we consider GER as a possible co-promoting factor of cancer in some patients.

Review
Schwannoma arising from the posterior pharyngeal wall is extremely rare. We report a 24-year-old female patient who had suffered from dysphagia and discomfort for two months. The tumour was excised completely via the intraoral approach. No recurrence was found after the follow-up period of one year. To our knowledge, only four cases of schwannomas from the posterior pharyngeal wall have been reported, and this patient is the fifth.

Review
The general principles and historical background of TNM classification was briefly discussed, with advantages as well as weakness and limitations of the system. The current TNM staging of lip and oral cavity, pharynx. The currant TNM staging of carcinoma in lip and oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses and major salivary glands was presented, pointing out the last changes in the classification.

A stenosing tumour in the throat region is a common indication for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG), which may be used for enteral nutrition in palliative cases or placed prior to curative treatment (surgery, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy) and removed when the patient has recovered and has a reliable and adequate oral intake. Major complications related to PEG are rare, but their treatment poses a challenge. We are presenting a case of the transmission of metastasis to the gastrostomy site in a patient with pharynx cancer after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy.

RATIONALE
Cellular angiofibroma is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor which mostly occurs in the superficial soft tissues of the genital region. Occurrence in the head and neck region is extremely rare. To our knowledge, this is the first case of cellular angiofibroma arising in the hypopharynx.
PATIENT'S CONCERNS
A 54-year-old male complained of a mass moving through his throat for 1 month. A tumor was found in the right lateral wall of the pharyngeal at the level of the epiglottis by laryngoscope. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of a mass in the right lateral pharyngeal area. A benign tumor was suspected based on the clinical symptoms and imaging findings.
DIAGNOSIS
A supporting laryngoscope was performed under general anesthesia and the lesion was resected. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed cellular angiofibroma.
INTERVENTIONS
The patient underwent surgical excision of the lesion.
OUTCOMES
Thus far, no recurrence has been observed 6 months after excision.
LESSONS
Cellular angiofibroma located in the lateral pharyngeal is rare; however, immunohistochemical staining is helpful for its diagnosis. Treatment is relatively simple and requires local excision and follow-up.

Parapharyngeal tumors are neoplasms which protrude beyond the parapharyngeal wall. The anatomy of the cephalic parapharyngeal space allows the identification of four sites - one retropharyngeal and three lateropharyngeal - each having its own particular pathological characteristics. Clinical examination and paramedical testing permit an exact determination of tumor configuration and will often permit diagnosis of tumor type. With the pre-operative diagnosis established, the surgeon can choose his approach and formulate a plan for excision according to the tumor site.
