Carcinoma epidermoide de laringe sincrónico con carcinoma medular de tiroides. Presentación de un caso

Abstract

Synchronous tumours are defined as those presenting within 6 months subsequent to the diagnosis of the primary tumour. We present a case of invasive laryngeal carcinoma in a 65 year old male smoker who underwent radical laryngectomy with bilateral cervical dissection and hemi-thyroidectomy due to suspicion of tumour invasion. There are a few case reports of laryngeal carcinoma synchronous with thyroid carcinoma, the majority being papillary thyroid carcinoma in males aged between 47 and 62. We present a case of invasive squamous cell laryngeal carcinoma synchronous with thyroid medullary carcinoma and cervical lymph glands positive for metastases from epidermoide carcinoma.
