ABSTRACT
According to the classification of World Health Organization, papillary squamous cell carcinoma is a variant of squamous cell carcinoma. This is a malignancy rarely found in the upper aerodigestive tract, especially in the sinonasal tract. We experienced a case, in which a 50-year-old man had papillary squamous cell carcinoma on his right nasal cavity, accompanied with inverted papilloma and fungiform papilloma. They were resected via endoscopic and Caldwell-Luc's approach. After the operation, the patient was treated with radiotherapy for 7 weeks, and has been disease-free for two years. We present the clinical characteristics, pathology, treatment, and prognosis of the tumor with a review of the literature.

The angiomyoma or vascular leiomyoma is an uncommon type of leiomyoma composed of smooth muscle cells and vascular endothelium. The tumor occurs mostly in the lower extremities as a slowly growing, firm and mobile mass, occasionally accompanied by pain. There are few cases of auricular angiomyoma reported in the literature; however, recently, we experienced a case of a 18-year-old man with protruding auricular mass. We performed a surgical excision and the final pathological result confirmed to angiomyoma. We report this case with a review of the related literatures.
