Candida laryngitis appearing as carcinoma
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Focal laryngeal candidiasis is not reported widely and is very infrequently recognized clinically. This disease is rare and may occur after pulmonary, pharyngeal and esophageal candidiasis or as part of disseminated disease. It is also secondary to inhaled steroid therapy which is usually mild and has been reported in 10-15 percent of patients taking these medications. Case Presentation: In this study, we introduced a rare case of laryngeal candidiasis in a 79-year-old immunocompromised male presented with 17 months of progressive hoarseness. In video laryngoscopy a white, vegetative mass on anterior one-third of right vocal cord mimicking laryngeal carcinoma. The histopathological examination showed laryngeal mucosal with keratosis, degenerating necrotic epithelial cell aggregates containing hyphea and candida albicans. Conclusion: In immunocompromised patients, the diagnosis of laryngeal candidiasis should be considered in any patients with laryngeal symptoms

full textLaryngitis.
How is it assessed? Laryngeal symptoms may have many causes. They are usually driven by four broad disease processes: inflammation, neoplastic and structural abnormalities, imbalance in muscle tension, and neuromuscular dysfunction. Laryngeal symptoms arise from one or a combination of these processes. A careful history and examination is crucial in determining the primary factor and helping to...
full textChronic laryngitis in glassblowers.
Glassblowers are exposed to numerous physical and chemical noxious factors at their workplace. Mucosal layer of upper aerodigestive tract (nose, oral cavity, pharynx and larynx) is particularly vulnerable to the influence of these factors. Inhalation of hot gases, dust particles, and oral contact with glassblower's pipe are the most important factors that can cause chronic inflammation of the u...
full textSevere candida laryngitis in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis treated with adalimumab.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic erosive rheumatic disease that can present with polyarticular involvement. Anti-TNF-alpha drugs are used in cases that are resistant to traditional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Anti-TNF-alpha drugs are groundbreaking drugs, the efficacy of which has been proven in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. However, the data concerning safety rema...
full textMetastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the gingiva appearing as a solitary branchial cyst carcinoma: diagnostic role of PET/CT.
We herein present a case of a left cervical cystic mass, for which the initial pathological diagnosis was branchial cleft cyst carcinoma (following complete mass excision). Thorough postoperative examinations, including with FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), revealed a primary tumor in the retromolar region of the left mandible. A 52-year-old female presented with a...
