Article Abstract
Background: Total pharyngolaryngectomy (TPL) is standard treatment for hypopharyngeal cancer. However, extensive thyroidectomy and paratracheal nodal dissection (PTND) can cause hypoparathyroidism. We sought to determine the optimum extent of resection.
Methods: We analyzed the clinicopathological information of 161 pyriform sinus cancer patients undergoing TPL from 25 Japanese institutions. Rates of recurrence and risk factors for hypoparathyroidism, as well as incidence of pathological contralateral level VI nodal metastasis and stomal recurrence, were investigated.
Results: The extent of thyroidectomy and nodal dissection were not independent risk factors for recurrence. Incidences of contralateral level VI nodal involvement and stomal recurrence were 1.8% and 1.2%, respectively. Patients undergoing hemithyroidectomy/ipsilateral PTND did not develop stomal recurrence and had the lowest incidence of hypoparathyroidism. Prognosis in patients without tracheostomy prior to hemithyroidectomy/ipsilateral PTND was comparable to that with more extensive resections.
Conclusions: Hemithyroidectomy/ipsilateral PTND may be sufficient for pyriform sinus cancer cases without tracheostomy.

Acute suppurative thyroiditis (AST) is a rare, potentially life-threatening bacterial infection of the thyroid gland, characterized by rapid progression. We report a rare pediatric case of AST caused by , secondary to a pyriform sinus fistula (PSF), initially misdiagnosed as subacute thyroiditis (SAT). A retrospective analysis highlights the diagnostic challenges and emphasizes the need for early suspicion of PSF in recurrent AST.

Objectives: Functional nasal surgery is commonly performed to correct obstructed nasal airflow, and our institution implements pyriform aperture expansion (PAE) as an adjunct to surgical correction. The aim of this study was primarily to describe the surgical technique of PAE and demonstrate its safety and feasibility in functional nasal surgery.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients who underwent functional nasal surgery including PAE from April 2022 to May 2023 was conducted.

Acute suppurative thyroiditis (AST) is an extremely rare and potentially life-threatening condition, which can at first be difficult to differentiate from the far more common subacute thyroiditis (SAT). AST is most often described in patients with immunosuppression, or in patients with a pre-existing thyroid disease or anatomical structural defect, such as a pyriform sinus fistula. Here, we describe a case where a 37-year-old immunocompromised woman presented with intermittent fever, fatigue, erythema and tenderness of the anterior neck.

Background: Fishbone is a widespread foreign body accidentally swallowed, accounting for about 84% of ingested foreign bodies. Most of the patients do not present with any symptoms. The common sites where foreign bodies get embedded in the upper gastrointestinal tract involve the base of the tongue, the palatine tonsils, the pyriform sinus, and the vallecula.
