In conclusion, the most probable origin of SCC in this case was malignant transformation from Hashimoto's thyroiditis following a phase of metaplasia. This immunohistological profile is associated with a better prognosis. Optimal treatment consists of extensive surgical resection of tumour tissuefollowed by radiotherapy.

Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare disease involving cartilaginous structures, predominantly the ears, nose and laryngotracheobronchial tree. The eyes, cardiovascular system, peripheral joints, skin, and central nervous system may also be affected. Involvement of all ocular structures has been described. Nongranulomatous uveitis is a common feature; however hypopyon is uncommon. We herein present the case of a 42-year-old man who had been diagnosed with bronchial asthma for a long period; and who presented with recurrent hypopyon uveitis as a revealing manifestation of relapsing polychondritis. We emphasize that RP should therefore be considered in the differential diagnosis of sterile hypopyon uveitis.

Tuberculosis is currently the commonest cause of cervical lymphadenopathy in North Africa. Fine-needle non-aspiration cytology is safe and accurate in the diagnosis of cervical tuberculous lymph node that is associated with the risk of non-diagnosis cytology.

Possible tumoral etiology should be considered in any peritonsillar abscess occurring in an atypical subject. Acute-stage tonsillectomy enables early diagnosis.
