Early glottic squamous cell carcinoma in a 16-year-old: Case report, review of the literature and pediatric head and neck radiotherapy guidelines

Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma in children and adolescents is extremely rare. Less than 80 case reports have been reported in the literature since it was first reported in 1868. In this article, we intend to report a case where a 16-year-old girl who presented with complaints of change in voice was found to have early-stage vocal cord carcinoma on evaluation.
