Abstract:

The most common malignancy of the larynx is Squamous cell carcinoma, which accounts for more than 90% of laryngeal malignancies. This cancerous growth remains predominantly localized in the larynx, and distant metastasis is rare. A 53-year-old male chronic smoker presented with dyspnea at our department. Imaging revealed a mass on his right vocal fold, which was histopathologically confirmed as T2bN0M0 non keratinizing laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The tumor was resected with partial laryngectomy. Eighteen months later, a left adrenal gland tumor was identified as a metastatic lesion originating from the larynx. Subsequent surgical resection was performed while narrow band imaging ruled out tumor recurrence in the larynx.
