Abstract
Abstract
Oral melanoma is an extremely aggressive and rare tumor. Commonly, oral melanomas are diagnosed as invasive tumors, which considerably reduces the chances of cure. In situ oral melanomas being exceedingly rare, which makes its clinicopathological and prognostic characteristics poorly known. Herein, we report a case of 67-year-old non-white woman with a large black patch on the maxillary alveolar mucosa. A biopsy was made and microscopical analysis revealed moderate atypical junctional melanocytic. Tumor cells were positive for S100 (Polyclonal), Melan-A (Clone A103) and Melanosome (HMB-45). The diagnosis of in situ oral melanoma was made and the patient was treated surgically with partial maxillectomy and rehabilitated with obturator prosthesis. Although extremely rare in situ melanomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of non-invasive pigmented lesions of the oral mucosa.

Abstract
Abstract
In COVID-19 pandemic era, one major concern is related to ensure optimal management to oncologic patients, even though a context of radical uncertainty. The aim of our effort is to guarantee high-quality and timely care, minimizing COVID-19 infection risk, according to our head and neck (HN) reconstructive mission, still more challenging because of the criticality of the period. Thus, our reconstructive decision algorithm is changed. Microvascular free flaps, reported to be the gold standard for surgical reconstruction, represent extremely specialized procedures necessitating an extended resource allocation not affordable in the adversities of the period. Therefore, we are obliged to define a paradigm shift in our approach, based on free-style reconstructive surgery principles of propeller flap concept. According to our experience, we believe that this viable and feasible surgical technique could represent a reconstructive landmark in this pandemic era, since any guideline is missing, besides HN reconstructive surgery is most likely heading towards a new reconstructive approach.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Tracheal stoma recurrence following oral cavity surgery is exceedingly rare. Although several different mechanisms for this have been described, the pathogenesis still remains uncertain.

Methods
We present the case of a gentleman who presented 6-months following oral cavity SCC resection with a large fungating mass at his previous tracheostomy site, and also review the reported literature on this rare phenomenon.

Results
Four weeks after diagnosis of his recurrence he underwent a total laryngectomy, wide-local skin excision and reconstruction with a pectoralis major pedicled flap. He recovered well initially following his operation, however unfortunately contracted nosocomial SARS-Cov2 and succumbed from respiratory complications during his post-operative recovery.

Conclusion
Stomal recurrence after temporary tracheostomy for oral cavity malignancies are very rare. Previously reported management of these can vary from surgical to palliative treatment. Methods to prevent these include delaying tracheostomy until after surgical resection, packing the pharynx during resection and adjuvant radiotherapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Oral cavity metastases are considered rare and represent approximately 1% of all oral malignancies. Due to their rarity and atypical clinical and radiographic appearance, metastatic lesions are considered a diagnostic challenge. In this article we present a rare, unusual & exceptional case of left maxillary mass which on further evaluation leading to diagnosis of left breast carcinoma with metastasis to isolated left maxillary bone. Sixty five year old postmenopausal woman of low socioeconomic status with good performance status presented with a 3 months history of progressive pain and swelling in the left maxillary region. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) from the maxillary mass shows invasive ductal carcinoma. On further clinical, radiographic, and histopathological examination findings from the breast lesion confirmed the diagnosis of hormone receptor positive metastatic breast carcinoma. In view of painful metastatic maxillary lesion with breast disease she was managed with a palliative radiotherapy to the maxillary lesion and palliative chemotherapy with Doxorubicin-Cyclophosphamide and bhisphosphonate-Zolendronic acid. Patient responded very well to palliative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, in view of hormone receptor positive breast cancer, now she is on Tab. Anastrazole 1 mg once a day along with monthly Zolendronic acid injection since last 13 months without any symptoms of disease evolution. A high index of clinical thought of metastatic cancer to maxilla is necessary when evaluating patients who complain of maxillary pain and swelling without a history of pain or swelling in the head and neck & non-head and neck region. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a metastatic isolated solitary maxillary bone metastasis presenting as an early sign of breast cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Mammary analog secretory carcinoma (MASC), or secretory carcinoma of the thyroid is an extremely rare disease harboring ETV6–NTRK3 gene fusion with TRK activation. Here we report the twelfth case of MASC of the thyroid worldwide. A 36-year-old female was diagnosed with poor-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC). Pathology consultant and immunochemical workups showed the tumor cells were negative for TTF1, TG, PAX8, positive for S100, Vimentin, GATA-3, and focally positive for mammaglobin. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay using a dual-color break-apart probe showed ETV6 translocation t(12p13) (ETV6) was present and established the diagnosis of MASC. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of a 47-gene panel identified exon 1–5 of ETV6 gene were fused with exons 15–19 of NTRK3 gene. The patient experienced three loco-regional recurrences within 12 months and eventually developed inoperable local disease as well as bilateral lung metastasis. She is currently receiving anti-TRK treatment with a follow-up time of 33 months. A literature review of MASC in the thyroid was also conducted.

Abstract
Abstract
It is well known that head and neck squamous cell carcinomas are characterized by genetic alterations, genomic instability and different immune defects and Telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter mutations have been found with high rates in patients with tongue squamous cell carcinomas. We presented a non-smoker, no alcohol consuming woman who had a second primary tongue SCC after four and a half years later of her first tongue SCC with TERT promoter mutation. The primary tumor and its recurrences in woman with tongue SCC who have never smoked and had no alcohol consumption may need to be differing from other tongue carcinomas. TERT promoter mutations may have a relation in etiopathogenesis of tumor and mutations need to be on mind in future studies.
