Introduction: Acute epiglottitis or supraglottitis is a rapidly progressing upper respiratory tract infection that can often threaten the airway patency. Epiglottic abscess that expands to the paraglottic (PGS) or preepiglottic (PES) space and acute airway obstruction constitute rare complications, exclusively presented in adults.   Case Report: We report two cases. In t...

PURPOSE Our goal was to describe the appearance of laryngeal tuberculosis using CT, with the intent of identifying features distinguishing laryngeal tuberculosis and carcinoma. METHOD CT scans of 12 patients with laryngeal tuberculosis were analyzed retrospectively. Clinical symptoms, laryngoscopic exams, and presence of pulmonary tuberculosis on chest radiographs were also reviewed. RESULT...

BACKGROUND Primary laryngeal adenocarcinomas are uncommon and typically of salivary or seromucinous glands origin. Similarly, metastatic adenocarcinoma, including intestinal origin to the larynx, is a rare occurrence. METHODS We present a case of a 63-year-old woman with odynophagia and an epiglottic mass of 2 months' duration. Physical examination revealed a large mass involving the entire e...

BACKGROUND Granulocytic sarcoma is an extramedullary tumor of myeloblasts. The purpose of this report was to present a case of a primary laryngeal granulocytic sarcoma and review of the literature. METHODS A literature review was performed using Medline and PubMed databases to search for cases of all primary and secondary myelogenous tumors of the larynx. RESULTS A 36-year-old man presented...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the role of preepiglottic space (PES) invasion in lymph node metastasis and prognosis in patients undergoing supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) with cricohyoidopexy (CHP). METHODS A retrospective review of 42 previously untreated patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx that underwent surgery was performed. The mean age of the...
