Collapsed bullae and erosions may also occur in other mucosal sites, although they are almost always accompanied by involvement of the gingiva or palate or both. [blogs.nejm.org]
Respiratoric
- Hoarseness
Hoarseness is a harsh, rough, raspy quality to the voice. Hoarseness is generally caused by irritation of, or injury to, the vocal cords. This trauma to the vocal cords leads to a change in the pitch of the voice. [medicinenet.com]
Laryngeal SCCA usually presents with hoarseness when the glottis is involved, dysphagia if the supraglottis is involved, and difficulty of breathing and stridor in subglottic invovlement. [philjol.info]
We present a 62-year-old woman presented with neck pain, hoarseness, crepitus over the larynx, and what appeared to be a necrotic mass of the right true vocal cord on laryngoscopy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
A problem-based approach makes it easy to apply principles to treatment planning and delivery. New to this edition are updates on current equipment, procedures, and treatment planning. [books.google.de]
Chemotherapy is also occasionally used for palliative treatment in advanced head and neck cancers. Management post treatment Side effects of head and neck cancer treatment do not generally heal for at least one month on completion of treatment. [inmo.ie]
Treatment was a single application of cidofovir gel 1%, 3%, 5% or placebo applied within 12 hours of an outbreak. [dermnetnz.org]
Prognosis
Rarely, in severe infections such as those with herpes viruses, laryngeal erosion and necrosis may occur. [ 1 ] Prognosis In acute laryngitis, the prognosis is usually excellent. [patient.info]

In general, the higher the stage (both overall and within each category) the poorer the prognosis. Small glottic cancers have better prognosis than supraglottic ones. [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]

This made it more difficult to diagnose, since neck masses can have varying etiologies involving a large number of different structures of the head and neck. [philjol.info]
