RESUMEN
Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a slow-growing but aggressive malignant skin tumour derived from sebaceous glands. SC most commonly occurs in the periocular region, whereas extraocular sites are rare. SC of the nasal dorsum is a rare pathology, and only a few cases are reported worldwide. Here, we report a case of an 80-year-old man who presented with a mass over the nasal dorsum, diagnosed morphologically and immunohistochemically as sebaceous carcinoma.

RESUMEN
The incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) especially human papillomavirus (HPV) associated type is increasing in trend despite reducing in other head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Muffled voice, dysphagia, neck mass and pain over the throat are among the common presentations; however, health care professional should be aware of unusual presentation to avoid delay in management. We present a case of HPV-positive OPSCC with a rare presentation; progressive worsening of snoring for 6 months duration. Patient sougth medical attention at the some of private clinics for the past 2 months, however, was told to have a normal tonsillar enlargement. Subsequently, patient was referred to our center with impression of obstructive sleep apnea. We highlight the important of early referral to appropriate center and otorhinolaryngology for assessment in cases presented with worsening snoring.

Iatrogenic laryngotracheal trauma is a potentially fatal complication of endotracheal intubation, especially in an emergency setting. Symptoms are almost always related to speech, breathing, and swallowing. Hoarseness being the commonest symptom, while shortness of breath and stridor always signify more devastating injury. We present a case of iatrogenic subglottic and tracheal stenosis, which was misdiagnosed in the emergency department during the first visit. This case report highlights the importance of salient history and thorough examination with a high index of suspicion in a stridorous case with a recent history of intubation. Early detection and management are vital to avoid a life-threatening event.
