36.8.2 Hemangiomas
• Often appear bluish and are compressible.
• CT or MRI may help dene the extent of the
neoplasm, especially intrathoracic.
• Treatment: (depend on site, size, and severity
of symptoms) most often resolve spontaneously within the rst decade.
• Surgical treatment is reserved for lesions with
rapid growth involving vital structures, which
fail medical therapy (laser or oral propranolol
in infantile type).
36.8.3 Branchial Cleft Cysts
S. S. Mohamed et al.
• Remnant of branchial cleft (second).
• Most commonly occur in the second or third
decades.
• Pain +/- (severe throbbing pain, can be
painless).
• Usually presents as a smooth, uctuant non-
tender (or tender), non-transluminal mass
mobile forwards and downwards, underlying
the anterior border of the SCM muscle.
• Branchial stula or sinus.
• Primary treatment is with control of infection
by antibiotics, followed by surgical excision.
36.8.4 Thyroglossal Duct Cyst
• This is a common congenital midline neck
mass.
• Can present as a mass in the lateral edge of the
thyroid cartilage.
• Pain and tenderness +/-.
• During clinical examintion, swelling can be
moved transversally but cannot be moved
vertically.
• Elevates on protrusion of the tongue.
• Treatment is with initial control of infection
with antibiotics, followed by surgical excision, including the mid-portion of the body of
the hyoid bone (Sistrunk’s procedure).
Occasionally, these lesions become infected
and resolve or persist following surgery as a
thyroglossal stula.
36.8.5 Sebaceous Cysts
• These are common masses often occurring in
older people but can occur at any age.
• They are slow-growing, but sometimes uctuant and painful when infected.
• Diagnosis is made clinically; the skin overlying the mass is adherent, and a punctum is
often identied.
• Excisional biopsy conrms the diagnosis.
36.8.6 Cervical Lymphadenopathy
• Acute lymphadenitis present as tender
swelling
• Antibiotic trial, less acute inammatory nodes
generally regress in size over 2–6 weeks. If
lymph node did not subside then biopsy of the
lymph node is advised.

Take-Home Messages
• Neck masses are common and most
often due to lymphadenopathy secondary to a self-limited infection or
inammation.
• Basic knowledge of neck anatomy and
structures is required.
• Thorough history and examination usually suggest a diagnosis.
• In the differential diagnosis, the three
most important categories to distinguish
are: infective/inammatory, congenital,
and neoplastic masses.
• Appropriate investigations may be performed at a GP (General practitioner) or
specialist level.
• Reasonable rst-line management for a
suspected infective/inammatory mass
is a course of a broad-spectrum antibiotic with referral to a specialist if the
mass does not resolve within 2–4 weeks.
• All suspected neoplastic and congenital
masses should be referred for specialist
attention.

37.1 Introduction
Head and neck cancers is a term synonymous
with the squamous cell carcinomas arising from
the mucosal surfaces of the oral cavity, pharynx
(oropharynx, hypopharynx), larynx and nasal
cavity/paranasal sinuses. They are the seventh
leading cause of cancer worldwide accounting
for nearly 900,000 new cases and 450,000 deaths
annually [1]. The majority of these cancers are a
result of tobacco and alcohol abuse. With their
decreasing consumption in parts of the developed
world, there is lowering in the incidence of these
cancers. Parallel to this, the last decade has wit-

nessed a rise in the incidence of oropharyngeal
cancers attributed to infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 and 18 [2]. HPV-related
cancers are the cause of 60–70% of oropharyngeal cancers in the developed world. This change
is not apparent in low- and middle-income countries where oropharyngeal cancers are still primarily tobacco related [3]. HPV-related cancers
are recognized as a distinct biological entity with
differences in epidemiology, pathophysiology
and responses to treatment (discussed in Chap.
38). This chapter aims to conceptualize the over-
all principles of management of head and neck
cancers in light of recent developments. Because
of their unique characteristics, nasopharyngeal
cancers are distinct and are covered in detail in a
separate section.

37.2 Natural History
oftheDisease
Tobacco-related head and neck cancers develop
after years of substance abuse through a welldened tumour progression model [4]. Dysplastic
and molecularly altered changes occur in the
entire upper aerodigestive tract exposed to the
carcinogenic effects of tobacco. This phenomenon, termed as eld cancerization proposed initially by Slaughter [5], predisposes patients to the
development of second primary cancers. In contrast, HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers occur
de novo in normal mucosa and therefore do not
have the increased risk of second primary
cancers.
Second primary cancers occur following treatment of the index cancer at the rate of 1–5% per
year [6]. The cumulative risk at 20years varies to
as high as 25–40% and more so if patients persist
with their addictions [7–9]. These tumours occur
in the head and neck region, oesophagus or lung.
They could be simultaneous (diagnosed at the
time of index cancers), synchronous (within
6months of diagnosis of index cancers) or metachronous (6months after diagnosis of index cancers). This must be kept in mind during workup
and follow-up.
37.3 Diagnostic Workup
Treatment is primarily inuenced by a) patientrelated factors—comorbidities, performance status, medical/family history; b) tumour
factors—tumour characteristics (HPV status) and
extent of disease. Diagnostic workup is therefore
directed towards these two areas to help glean
maximum information in an attempt to select the
best treatment, improve outcomes and limit
morbidity.
(a) Patient-related factors: A thorough history of
disease-related information and addictions/
substance abuse is elicited. Associated
comorbidities which occur in as high as
20–50% of patients must be sought for as it
has a bearing on treatment decisions [10, 11].
Fanconi’s anaemia, ataxia telangiectasia,
xeroderma pigmentosa and immunosuppressive states are known to predispose to head
and neck cancers and appropriate history
must be elucidated. Dental history and examination of dental hygiene such as sharp teeth,
ill-tting dentures and dental caries are
important.
(b) Tumour factors: Diagnosis is established by a
punch biopsy avoiding obviously necrotic
areas in the majority of head and neck tumours.
Imaging is preferably performed prior to
biopsy in obvious cases to avoid biopsyinduced artefacts. This is particularly important before positron emission tomography
(PET) imaging to avoid false positives as the
consequence of inammation. Fine needle
aspiration biopsy is a useful alternative in
deep-seated inaccessible lesions and for neck
nodes. Open node biopsy is to be avoided as it
violates tissue planes and may cause tumour
spillage. Excisional biopsy of nodes is done
only when more material is needed for further
studies (immunohistochemistry (IHC), microbiology, etc.).
Assessment of HPV status is particularly
important for oropharyngeal cancers and
patients who present with unknown primary.
p16 IHC staining because of its simplicity and
easy availability is recommended to establish
HPV infection. The expression should be
present both at the cytoplasmic and nuclear
level with an intensity of +2/3 and a diffuse
overexpression of 75% to be considered as
positive. HPV DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
in situ hybridization (ISH) and polymerase
chain reaction (PCR) tests have a greater specicity but are not routinely used due to cost,
the complexity of the procedure and the need
for the fresh tissue [
12].
Assessment of the extent of disease is important to stage and plan treatment. The mucosal
spread is best evaluated endoscopically, usually
an ofce procedure. Direct/microlaryngoscopic
evaluation is required for glottic cancers and to
evaluate blind spots, e.g. post cricoid region
and apex of the pyriform fossa. Evaluation
under anaesthesia is useful when exible

endoscopy and imaging are incongruous with
clinical ndings, e.g. root of tongue involvement. Imaging gives the true deep extent of disease. Contrast enhanced computed tomography
(CECT) is the workhorse and is the investigation of choice in the majority of head and neck
tumours. It is excellent for assessment of cortical bone and cartilage involvement and also has
a high sensitivity for neck nodes. Magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) with its better soft
tissue delineation is usually preferred for the
tongue, oor of the mouth and oropharyngeal
cancers. It is ideal for perineural spread, dural/
intraorbital involvement and marrow inltration. Its limitation is that early cartilage
and bone erosion may be overestimated.
Involvement of skull base, encasement of the
internal carotid artery, inltration of prevertebral fascia and mediastinal extension of the disease are denite signs of inoperability [13].
PET scan is indicated when there is a high
likelihood of distant metastasis (locally
advanced disease (T4), large bulky nodes (N2/
N3), lower level nodes (levels III/IV), hypopharyngeal cancers and recurrent tumours)
[14]. In cost constraint settings, a CECT thorax is a suitable replacement given that the
lung is the most common site of distant metastasis. Kim etal. demonstrated that the detection rates for pulmonary metastasis between
PET CT and CECT thorax were essentially the
same [15]. PET CT scan is also indicated for
response assessment following chemoradiotherapy (CRT) which is ideally performed
12 weeks after completion of treatment to
avoid false positive nding [16]. Given its
very high negative predictive value in this setting, a negative PET can be interpreted as the
absence of disease with upwards of 90%
surety [17].
PET scan is also the imaging modality of
choice for an unknown primary and helps identify the site of origin in 25–50% of cases [18,
19]. Blind biopsies which were in vogue in the
past are to be deprecated and should be directed
based on imaging ndings. With changing epidemiology, 90% of patients presenting with an
unknown primary are HPV associated of oro-
pharyngeal origin [12] and establishing HPV
status is useful. Some authors recommend a
routine tonsillectomy (unilateral/bilateral) and
carpet excision of the ipsilateral base of tongue
which can locate the primary in as high as 90%
of cases [20]. Another site commonly associated with the unknown primary is the nasopharynx which is often Epstein–Barr Virus
(EBV) associated. Detecting EBV encoded
RNA (EBER) with ISH helps establish a nasopharyngeal primary [12].
37.4 Pathology
World health organization (WHO) describes various histological variants of SCC, namely acantholytic, adenosquamous, basaloid, cuniculatum,
papillary, spindle cell or sarcomatoid and verrucous carcinoma. Although having specic pathological characteristics and disease biology, these
variants are all essentially treated similarly [21].
Verrucous cancers are unique in that differentiating them from verrucous hyperplasia is often difcult and deep biopsies may need to be performed
to obtain representative sections demonstrating
invasion of the basement membrane (essential
prerequisite to establish cancer). Up to 10–20%
of verrucous carcinoma may be hybrid and reveal
foci of SCC on nal histology.
Histopathology is preferably reported by dedicated pathologists and captured in a synoptic
reporting proforma to ensure recording of essential parameters to prognosticate and plan treatment. Histological parameters are best captured
under the headings of essential, desirable and
optional (Table37.1).

and N stage of head and neck cancers. In addition, HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer is recognized as a separate entity with a dedicated
staging.
Depth of invasion (DOI) has been incorporated into the T stage of oral cancers. DOI is
different from tumour thickness and is measured
as the perpendicular line dropped from the basement membrane of the most adjacent normal
mucosa to the deepest point of invasion. This line
is also referred to as the ‘plumb line’. The restaging denes the tumours which are ≤2 cm in
greatest dimension with DOI ≤5 mm as T1;
tumours >2cm and ≤4cm in the greatest dimension with DOI ≤10 mm and ≤2 cm in greatest
dimension with DOI >5mm and ≤10mm as T2;
tumours >4cm in greatest dimension with DOI
≤10 mm and ≤4cm in the greatest dimension
with DOI >10mm as T3; and tumours >4cm in
greatest dimension with DOI >10mm considered
now as T4 [22].
The other important change is in the N stage
with the incorporation of extranodal extension
(ENE). ENE is dened as the extension of the
carcinoma through the brous capsule of the
node into the surrounding tissue. Presence of
ENE upstages nodal disease to N2 if the size is
≤3cm and to N3 if nodal size >3cm. Both minor
and major ENE are at present given similar
importance but the AJCC task force recommends
capture and documentation of ENE as minor
<2 mm and major >2 mm from the capsule.
Studies have shown a difference in outcomes
with minor and major ENE and hence the need to
capture this data which might be of help to modify staging subsequently [24]. ENE places the
patients into a high-risk group and warrants adjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
With the growing evidence that HPV-related
oropharyngeal cancers are a biologically different disease with better prognosis, the new staging system identies these tumours as distinct
and accords a separate staging system.
Carcinoma in situ (Tis) and subdivision of T4a
and T4b have been removed from HPV positive
cancer. N staging for HPV cancers has undergone signicant change with separate clinical
and pathological N staging. Metastatic neck
nodes ipsilateral single or multiple ≤6 cm is
classied as N1 while bilateral/contralateral
nodes ≤6cm are staged as N2. Any node >6cm
in size is staged as N3. Pathological N stage is
applicable to the group of patients undergoing
surgery. The size of the node and laterality did
not impact the outcome in patients treated with
surgery. The N staging is done based on positive
neck nodes: N1 being ≤4 and N2 being >4 metastatic lymph nodes.
Another minor change is the elimination of
the stage T0 category from the staging of
unknown primary for all subsites of head and
neck except HPV-related oropharyngeal and
nasopharyngeal cancers, where a diagnosis can
be established with HPV ISH and EBER ISH in
