Beyond the Oropharynx: TTMV‐HPV DNA Detection in a p16‐Positive Hypopharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Plasma TTMV‐HPV16 DNA provided complementary molecular evidence in a p16‐positive hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, while PET/CT localized the occult left pyriform sinus primary. Serial postoperative TTMV‐HPV DNA assays remained undetectable through approximately 19 months of clinical and radiographic surveillance.

Unintentional Weight Loss Does Not Predict Poor Outcomes in Zenker Diverticulum

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 11, Page 4889-4895, November 2026.
In this study of 427 patients with Zenker's diverticulum, 23.6% had significant unintentional preoperative weight loss. Weight loss was associated with preoperative dysphagia and with both the smallest and largest pouches. Postoperative outcomes were similar in patients with and without weight loss, demonstrating a similar efficacy and safety profile ...

Cost‐Effectiveness of Radiofrequency Ablation for Benign Non‐Functioning Thyroid Nodules: A Systematic Review

Clinical Otolaryngology, Volume 51, Issue 6, Page 805-818, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose This systematic review tests the hypothesis that radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for benign non‐functioning thyroid nodules is associated with favourable cost‐effectiveness compared with surgery. Materials and Methods A systematic literature search of multiple databases (Embase, Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central) was ...

Diagnostic Challenge of Contralateral Intranodal Thyroid Inclusions in a Patient With Synchronous Oropharyngeal and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Distinguishing benign intranodal thyroid inclusions from metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma is vital in synchronous malignancies to prevent overstaging. Integrating morphological analysis with BRAF VE1 immunohistochemistry ensures diagnostic precision to align management with the true pathological stage, avoiding unnecessary aggressive ...

Simple Epithelial Hypopharyngeal Cyst Presenting as Acute Airway Obstruction in a Three‐Year‐Old Child: A Case Report and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypopharyngeal cysts are a rare cause of pediatric upper airway obstruction and may present acutely, even in previously asymptomatic children. Early endoscopic evaluation is essential in children with stridor and unexplained airway compromise, as prompt surgical excision can be both diagnostic and curative.

Impact of Smoking on Treatment Outcomes in Patients With Human Papillomavirus‐Related Oropharyngeal Cancer

Head &Neck, Volume 48, Issue 10, Page 2821-2829, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with HPV+ oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) have worse outcomes with longer smoking history (≥ 10 pack‐years). This has been confirmed in trials of primary radiotherapy but not surgery, suggesting differential smoking impact by treatment received. We assessed smoking‐related outcomes at a single institution.

Comparison of In‐Office and General Anesthesia Biopsies for Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Public Healthcare System

Head &Neck, Volume 48, Issue 10, Page 2792-2799, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background We compared treatment delays, costs, and management impact between oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) patients undergoing in‐office versus general anesthesia panendoscopy‐guided biopsies in two large tertiary centers in a public healthcare system. Methods All OPSCC patients included were treated between 2010 and 2024 with
