Carcinoma larynx with thyroid gland metastasis: a rare case report

<p>Thyroid gland (TG) metastasis by laryngeal cancer is uncommon. However, now a days following concept of ‘organ preservation’, so ipsilateral hemithyroidectomy not required in every case with total laryngectomy (TL) for cancer. Studies T3 and T4 having, anterior commissure involvement, transglottic growth or subglottic extension indicates thyroidectomy the majority cases. Hemithyroidectomies are linked to hypothyroidism 23–63% cases hypoparathyroidism 25–52% There no recognized link between tumour differentiation TG involvement. According reports, prognosis involvement poor. The determines whether spread contiguous noncontiguous. Contiguous more likely well-differentiated carcinomas, while non-contiguous poorly moderately differentiated carcinomas. Anatomically, direct invasion only possible through extralaryngeal soft tissue, which includes cricothyroid cricopharyngeus muscles. Non-contiguous lymphovascular necessarily, but seen 87-91% over 10 mm, as our also.</p>
