Carcinoma cuniculatum of the penis is an extremely rare variant ofsquamous cell carcinoma characterized by an endophytic deeplybranching and burrowing growth pattern. One documented caseseries demonstrated afflicted patients ranging in age from 73-83years with the tumour located on the glans penis, coronal sulcusor foreskin. We report a case of a 55-year-old with disease locatedon the ventral aspect of the shaft of the penis. The tumour wasinvasive into the deep dermal connective tissue, comparativelysuperficial to all previous documented cases. He subsequentlyunderwent a partial penectomy. The case is discussed with a briefreview of the literature.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common type of skin cancer after basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The overall prevalence of BCC is 3 times higher than that of SCC, but this can vary when looking at specific locations such as the hand, where SCC is much more common than BCC. Carcinoma (or epithelioma) cuniculatum is a rare variant of SCC. It was originally described as a verrucous carcinoma of the soles. Exceptionally, it can arise in other parts of the skin. We report a rare case of carcinoma cuniculatum of the right thenar region with bone and lymph node involvement.

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the most common malignant head and neck cancer, with a 40% recurrence rate in the first 3 years after radical treatment. Recurrence of LSCC mostly comprises lymphogenous metastasis, hematogenic metastasis, and locoregional recurrence, while LSCC seeding is rarest: there are only 4 cases reported in PubMed, and none of them is one of subcutaneous seeding. We report a case with post-surgery subcutaneous seeding of LSCC. The final biopsy demonstrated that the subcutaneous seeding of the LSCC was 2 cm away from the primary lesion, with no recurrent foci observed in the larynx and tracheostoma and little relation to the primary lesion. Thus, we drew the conclusion that LSCC surgeries should stick to the principle of the non-tumor technique to prevent subcutaneous seeding.
