โฆ Synopsis
Hereditary forms of carcinoma may be associated with benign head and neck tumors. Many of these hereditary carcinoma syndromes present first to the otolaryngologist. Two unusual cases of Gardner's and Muir-Torre's syndromes illustrate the hereditary carcinoma syndromes associated with head and neck lesions. We describe the use of new genetic markers and propose a diagnostic algorithm. HEAD & NECK 11 :247:251, 1989
Otolaryngologists routinely search for head and neck carcinomas and are aware of the subtleties associated with their diagnosis. They must also be alert to the patient who presents with a benign process in the head and neck, which may signal possible malignancies in other organ systems. A number of hereditary carcinoma syndromes have been described.lP3 Perhaps the most well known of these is Gardner's syndrome. Although mentioned briefly in several otolaryn-

## Abstract ## Background Thyroid carcinoma occurring as a second primary associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is unusual. The clinical management of thyroid cancer in such cases has been debated. ## Methods Between 1975 and 2004, we collected 33 cases. The associated th
The nature and pathogenesis of inverted papilloma of the nose and paranasal sinuses are debated. Evidence suggesting a viral association is controversial, and epidemiological evidence has pointed to tobacco smoking as a potential etiologic factor.

The high tumor response rates associated with intensive chemotherapy in previously untreated patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) led to the initiation of a multi-institutional National Cancer Institute trial. This trial used preoperative chemotherapy in patients with
