Abstract
A man in his mid-70s, heavy smoker with chronic alcohol consumption and a chronic exposure to insecticides and burning of crop residues was referred to the surgical oncology department because of a 4-month onset of hoarseness, dyspnoea and laryngeal stridor. He had a history of left nephrectomy due to Fuhrman IV clear cell renal cancer 2 years ago. The patient underwent a bronchoscopy which identified a deforming tumour of the left vallecula, occlusion of 90% of the lumen and did not allow a safe biopsy. Following discussion between the oncological team, total laryngectomy and bilateral neck dissection of levels II, III, IV and V were performed, finding a transglottic tumour of approximately 4×3 cm with extension to the right anterolateral thyroid cartilage. The pathology report described metastatic RCC. The patient recovered well postoperatively and started systemic therapy with a vascular endothelial growth factor receptors inhibitor.

Abstract
PURPOSE Efficient approaches to reliably improving wound healing in diabetic patients remain to be developed. Exosomes are nanomaterials from which therapeutically active microRNAs (miRNAs) can be isolated. In the present report, we therefore isolated circulating exosome-derived miRNAs from patients with diabetes and assessed the impact of these molecules on wound healing. PATIENTS AND METHODS Exosomes were isolated from the serum of control or diabetic patients (Con-Exos and Dia-Exos, respectively), after which the effects of these exosomes on cellular activity and wound healing were assessed. RESULTS We determined that miR-20b-5p was overexpressed in Dia-Exos and that it functioned by impairing wound repair by suppressing vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) expression. Consistent with such a model, the administration of Dia-Exos or this miRNA both in vivo and in vitro was sufficient to slow wound repair. CONCLUSION Dia-Exos exhibit significant increases in miR-20b-5p relative to Con-Exos, and this miRNA can be transferred into HSFs wherein it can suppress VEGFA expression and thereby slow the process of wound healing.

Abstract
Nonepithelial tumors of the larynx are rare and represent a minority of all laryngeal neoplasms. Imaging has an important role in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and surveillance of these entities. However, unfamiliarity with these neoplasms can cause diagnostic difficulties for radiologists, especially because many of the imaging findings are nonspecific. By using a systematic approach based on clinical history, patient age and gender, lesion location, endoscopic results, and specific imaging findings, the differential diagnosis can often be narrowed. These tumors typically affect the submucosal layer, so if a tumor has an intact mucosa at endoscopy, a nonepithelial neoplasm is the most likely diagnosis. Nonepithelial tumors of the larynx can arise from the laryngeal cartilage or muscle or from the surrounding lymphoid tissue or blood vessels. Consequently, imaging findings typically correspond to the specific cell type from which it originated. Recognizing specific features (eg, metaplastic bone formation, macroscopic fat, or enhancement pattern) can often help narrow the differential diagnosis. In addition, identification of noncircumscribed borders of the lesion and invasion of the adjacent structures is key to diagnosis of a malignant process rather than a benign neoplasm. Understanding the pathologic correlation is fundamental to understanding the radiologic manifestations and is ultimately crucial for differentiation of nonepithelial laryngeal neoplasms.

Abstract
A 55-year-old man underwent right radical nephrectomy after the diagnosis of right renal cell carcinoma (RCC). He did not show any relapse or metastasis for 3 years and 5 months after surgery. He was admitted to the hospital in April 2014 with a throat discomfort. Laryngoscopy revealed a 5 mm supraglottic mass. The tumor was locally excised and pathology revealed metastatic RCC. While RCC frequently metastasizes to the lungs, bones, lymph nodes, and brain, an isolated metastasis of RCC to the larynx is an extremely rare event. We report a case of isolated RCC metastasis to the supraglottic larynx 3 years and 5 months after radical nephrectomy.

Abstract
Background Metastasis to the thyroid gland from nonthyroid sites is an uncommon clinical presentation in surgical practice. The aim of this review was to assess its incidence management and outcomes. Methods A literature review was performed to identify reports of metastases to the thyroid gland. Both clinical and autopsy series were included. Results Metastases to the gland may be discovered at the time of diagnosis of the primary tumor, after preoperative investigation of a neck mass, or on histologic examination of a thyroidectomy specimen. The most common primary tumors in autopsy studies are from the lung. In clinical series, renal cell carcinoma is most common. For patients with widespread metastases in the setting of an aggressive malignancy, surgery is rarely indicated. However, when patients present with an isolated metastasis diagnosed during follow-up of indolent disease, surgery may achieve control of the central neck and even long-term cure. Other prognosticators include features of the primary tumor, time interval between initial diagnosis and metastasis, and extrathyroid extent of disease. Conclusions In patients with thyroid metastases, communication among clinicians treating the thyroid and the index primary tumor is essential. The setting is complex, and decisions must be made considering the features of the primary tumor, overall burden of metastases, and comorbidities. Careful balancing of these factors influences individualized approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nonthyroid metastases to the thyroid gland can cause morbidity, including dysphagia, dysphonia, and airway compromise. Because metastatic malignancies portend a poor prognosis, obtaining equipoise between treatment morbidity and local disease progression is paramount. We reviewed cases of nonthyroid metastases to determine treatment and prognostic recommendations. STUDY DESIGN Case series with chart review. SETTING Tertiary care hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We searched PubMed for reported cases between 1994 and September 2013 using search terms as follows: any combination of primary tumor locations and thyroid, as well as the terms thyroid and metastasis. Only unique cases of nonthyroid metastases were included. Combined with 17 additional tumors at our own institution, we found 818 unique nonthyroid metastases, of which 384 had management and survival data available. RESULTS Renal cell carcinoma was most common, presenting in 293 (35.8%) patients, followed by lung and gastrointestinal malignancies. Patients were treated with total thyroidectomy (34.0%), subtotal thyroidectomy including lobectomy (32.6%), and no surgery (33.5%). Surgical management was associated with improved survival duration (P < .01). Locoregional recurrence was less likely in patients treated with total versus partial thyroidectomy (4.8% vs 13%). Extent of surgical management did not have a significant effect on patient survival. Delayed presentation was associated with improved survival duration (P = .01). CONCLUSIONS Nonthyroid metastases to the thyroid gland are unusual tumors. Surgical intervention is associated with improved survival, but expected morbidity of untreated tumors is difficult to assess. Site of origin, time to diagnosis, and surgical approach are related to survival and recurrence rates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe a case of colorectal carcinoma metastatic to the larynx and provide a review of the current literature. METHODS A case report with chart review was performed. A review of the current literature was performed by systematically searching PubMed, OVID, CINAHL Plus, and EMBASE. RESULTS In 1988, a comprehensive literature review identified melanoma as the most common neoplasm to exhibit laryngeal involvement. Since that study, 41 subsequent cases have been reported, and among these, colorectal adenocarcinoma was the most frequent distant primary (24%). In 25 (58%) cases, curative surgery was attempted, but only 4 patients remained disease-free at last follow up. We report the history of a 52-year-old man who presented with rectal adenocarcinoma metastatic to his larynx 4 years after definitive treatment of the primary site. CONCLUSIONS In patients with a laryngeal mass and a history of colorectal cancer, or those at high risk of having an occult colorectal primary, metastatic spread to the larynx must always be considered. Although secondary laryngeal metastasis portends a poor prognosis, for the select patient, surgical intervention can provide long-term disease control.

Abstract
The thyroid gland is a rare site of clinically detectable tumor metastasis. Preoperative distinction between primary and secondary thyroid tumors is difficult. RCC disseminates in an unpredictable manner and can show late recurrences. Metastasis should be considered if history for RCC and a thyroid nodule is present.
Introduction The thyroid gland is a rare site of clinically detectable tumor metastasis. As thyroid tumors are usually assumed to be primary in origin, its recognition as a secondary is difficult. Presentation of case We report a case of an 80-year old female who was referred to the Department of Surgery for a symptomatic thyroid nodule. Her medical history included a radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) nine years ago. During follow-up a pancreatic nodule was noted suggestive of a neuroendocrine tumor and the von Hippel-Lindau syndrome had to be ruled out. The fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) guided by ultrasound (US) of the thyroid nodule was inconclusive and a hemithyroidectomy and isthmectomy were performed. Histological examination revealed metastasis of a clear cell carcinoma. Discussion RCC disseminates in an unpredictable manner and can show late recurrences. Although secondary involvement of the thyroid gland by RCC is rare, it is still one of the more common neoplasms to metastasize to this site. There are no specific clinical features and few characteristic findings of metastatic thyroid carcinoma on imaging studies. FNAB is a useful procedure to diagnose metastatic thyroid cancer, but one should remain suspicious when the result for malignant cells is negative or indeterminate. After thyroidectomy the diagnosis of RCC is confirmed immunohistochemically. There is a clear survival benefit if a surgical approach to the thyroid metastasis is chosen. Conclusion Thyroid metastasis should be considered in patients with a thyroid nodule and positive history for RCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney cancer is the third most common urological tumour. Diagnosis is made in most cases at an advanced stage of the disease in our setting. AIM & OBJECTIVES The aim of this work was to describe the management of solid tumors of the kidney and the outcome at the National University Hospital, Cotonou, Benin Republic, from January 2008 to December 2014. PATIENTS & METHODS This is a retrospective, descriptive study conducted at the Clinic of Urology and Andrology at the National University Hospital CNHU-Hubert Koutoukou MAGA in Cotonou, Benin Republic. We included patients managed for solid kidney tumours from January 2008 to December 2014. The demographics, clinical presentations, management and outcome were recorded and the data obtained were analyzed using Epi info 3.2.2. RESULTS Hospital frequency of solid renal mass was 1.9% with a mean age of 54 years and sex ratio of men to women of 1.6. Hematuria, back pain and lumbar mass were the most frequent clinical presentation found in 79.5% of cases. In all, 5% presented at an early stage while 95% presented at a late stage. Diagnosis was based on imaging; histopathological examination was requested in all the case though some could not afford the cost. Radical nephrectomy was performed in 51.5% of cases.The non- operated cases were those whose poor general condition as well as those who could not afford the procedure. Undifferentiated adenocarcinoma was the predominant pathological type found in 78% of operated cases. No patients underwent other treatments such as radiation therapy, immunotherapy or chemotherapy. Mortality occured in 10 cases including 1 intra operative death, 3 patients died in the early post operative period due to respiratory distress and 7 patients died from metatstasis discovered post operatively. CONCLUSION This study has shown that majority of patients with solid renal tumours in this environment present late with advanced stages of the disease. The absence of the necessary investigative equipment, poverty and absence of adjuvant and adjunct therapeutic facilities make the treatment outcome poor.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma is the most common renal tumor in adults. Clear cell carcinoma represents 85% of all histological subtypes. In February 2012 a 72-year-old woman came to our department due to the appearance of massive hemoptysis and pharyngodinia. Previously, this patient was diagnosed with a renal cell carcinoma treated with left nephrectomy. We observed an exophytic, grayish, and ulcerated mass in the left tonsillar lodge and decided to subject the patient to an immediate tonsillectomy. Postoperative histology showed nests of cells with highly hyperchromatic nuclei and clear cytoplasm. These features enabled us to make the diagnosis of renal clear cell carcinoma metastasis. Only few authors described metastasis of renal cell carcinoma in this specific site.
