Benign nasal tumors represent an uncommon pathology with various histopathological types. Squamous papilloma of the nasal vestibule, also called verruca vulgaris, is a benign epithelial tumor, sessile or pedunculated, small in size, unique or comprising multiple lesions, which can present with intermittent epistaxis or nasal obstruction. We chose to explore a case of squamous papilloma of nasal vestibule excision using high-frequency electrosurgery. A 38-year-old woman presented with one-month history of intermittent right nasal bleeding. The anterior rhinoscopy and the endoscopic examination revealed an 1x0.5 cm sized, unique, sessile and irregular shaped mass in the right nasal vestibule. An excisional biopsy was performed under local anesthesia, using high-frequency electrosurgery. The follow-up period consisted of two years, without any recurrence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article represents a review of risk factors and the mechanisms that determine the hypopharyngeal cancer. The most important risk factor is smoking, and in the majority of cases the patients have been abusive smokers over a long period of time. The recent findings in the molecular medicine have shown that neoplasm is a genetic disease, the development of the neoplastic cells being a consequence of the disruption of the proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis mechanisms. It has been noticed that in the past the incidence of the hypopharyngeal cancer was greater in men, but nowadays the difference between the genders has decreased up to 3/1, as a consequence to the growth of smoking incidence in women and HPV infection. It can be generally encountered on adulthood, with a maximum frequency at the age group of 40-60 years old. In most cases, the diagnosis is established in stage III-IV, and only in a small proportion in stage I-II. In half of the cases the primary lesion is associated with a satellite metastasis adenopathy in the lymphatic cervical ganglions, which leads to a very unpleasant treatment prognosis.
