Abstract

Although distant metastasis from larynx carcinoma is more common in the late stages, it may sometimes occur in the initial period of the disease. The tumor spread may be by a lymphatic or nonlymphatic route. A 40-year-old male patient presented with complaints of hoarseness and shortness of breath. Indirect laryngoscopic examination showed a vegetable mass extending from the left laryngeal side of the epiglottis to the left vocal cord. Level 3 lymphadenopathies were noted in the jugular region. Biopsy result revealed epidermoid carcinoma. Magnetic resonance imaging performed due to complaints of back pain and foot numbness demonstrated aggressive spinal cord metastases. The patient died on the tenth day of hospitalization.

Özet

Larenks kanserlerinde uzak yayılım sıklıkla geç dönemde, bazen ise tümörün başlangıç safhasında görülebilir. Tümör yayılımı lenfatik ya da lenfatik dışı yolla olabilir. Ses kısıklığı ve nefes almada güçlük yakınmalarıyla başvuran 40 yaşındaki erkek hastanın indirekt larengoskopisinde, epiglotun sol larengeal yüzünden başlayıp sol vokal korda kadar uzanan vejetan kitle saptandı. Juguler bölgede level 3 lenfadenopati görüldü. Biyopsi sonucu epidermoid karsinom olarak bildirilen hastanın sırt ve bel ağrısı, ayaklarda uyuşma yakınmaları üzerine çekilen manyetik rezonans görüntülemede dorsal vertebral ve medulla spinalise agresif yayılımlar saptandı. Hasta yatışının 10. gününde yaşamını kaybetti.
