#4311 Characterisation of patients diagnosed with metastatic head and neck paraganglioma treated at an oncology referral institution in Colombia

Introduction: Head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGL) are rare tumours. Multiple risk factors associated with the risk of metastasis have been described, although much of the available information corresponds to the group of Pheochromocytoma and Paragangliomas, not necessarily extrapolatable to metastatic HNPGLs.

#3449 Cavum neuroendocrine carcinoma

Introduction: Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the head and neck is an unusual entity, especially in the cavum, given their rarity and the lack of randomized trials. The therapeutic management of these tumors is difficult. Their prognosis remains unfavourable.

#3241 Clinical features and management of paragangliomas in a tertiary university hospital

Introduction: Paragangliomas (PG) are rare neuroendocrine tumors that arise from the extra-adrenal paraganglia. The most frequent location is head and neck PG (HNPG), usually non-functioning tumors. PG present a high rate of genetic susceptibility mainly associated with SDHx mutation. Clinical presentation depends upon catecholamine secretion and tumor location. Surgery remains the standard treatment, although radiotherapy and systemic therapies can be considered for unresectable or metastatic disease.

#3091 A review of outcomes of two sets of 100 consecutive cases of cutaneous basal cell carcinomas of the head and neck managed in an oral and maxillofacial unit at a district general hospital

Introduction: Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are often regarded as the ‘mildest’ form of skin cancer, and are the most common type of skin cancer in the United Kingdom [1]. There are various forms of treatment for BCCs. In an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) unit, the majority of lesions are surgically excised, followed by histopathological examination to determine completeness of excision. This study aimed to analyse the outcome of cases of BCCs excised in our OMFS unit.
