Simultaneous typical carcinoid tumour of larynx and occult papillary thyroid carcinoma. | Read by QxMD (original) (raw)
Case Reports
Journal Article
Typical carcinoid tumour of the larynx is extremely rare. We report the case of a 43-year-old man initially diagnosed with typical carcinoid tumour of the larynx, presenting with a foreign body sensation in his throat. Coincidentally, an occult papillary thyroid carcinoma was diagnosed, following detection of a suspicious lymph node on pre-operative imaging studies, and confirmation by neck dissection and subsequent total thyroidectomy. Following surgery and radioiodine therapy for these cancers, the patient was alive, well and free of disease two years later. Typical carcinoid tumour of the larynx with a synchronous occult papillary thyroid carcinoma has not previously been reported. The optimal treatment strategy for this case is also discussed.
