UNASSIGNED: Laryngeal neuroendocrine carcinomas are the most common non-squamous neoplasm of the larynx. Due to the rarity of the tumor, pathological diagnosis should be confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
UNASSIGNED: Laryngeal neuroendocrine carcinomas (LNECs) are a rare cancer of the head and neck. Few case reports of poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma originating in the subglottic larynx exist within the literature. In this case, we discuss a 57-year-old patient with a history of four-month hoarseness with a newly diagnosed of poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma in the subglottic larynx. Treatment and prognosis of the various NEC groups differ, so precise identification requires consideration of the microscopic findings and immunostaining analysis. immunohistochemistry staining demonstrated positive result for cytokeratin 7, synaptophysin, chromogranin, CD 56, with the Ki-67 index of45%. Although surgery is usually the treatment for all tumor types, chemo radiotherapy is recommended for poorly differentiated NECs because surgery is ineffective.

A case of laryngeal cancer complicated with Hodgkin\'s lymphoma treated in the Department of Otolaryngology Head and neck surgery of the First Hospital of Jilin University was reported. Under general anesthesia, right vertical partial laryngectomy, bilateral neck lymph node functional dissection and temporary tracheotomy were performed. No recurrence was found in laryngoscope and color Doppler ultrasound of neck lymph nodes 3 and 5 months after operation.

UNASSIGNED: In north Africa, laryngeal carcinomas remain a predominately male pathology. While in many countries the gap between men and women is narrowing. This study aimed to examine the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic, and follow up data of a case series of 23 female patients treated for laryngeal carcinoma.
UNASSIGNED: Medical records of a case series of 23 patients for primary carcinoma of the larynx at the Department of Head and Neck Surgery of the 20 August Hospital of Casablanca, between January 2012 and September 2016, were reviewed. Demographic, clinical, endoscopic, radiological, surgical, and follow-up data were collected.
UNASSIGNED: 7% of all the patients treated for LC were women, The most affected age group was between 60 and 79 years (52%), 52% had no major risk factor, all patients had an epidermoid carcinoma, 48% of patients had T2 tumors. T1, T3, and T4a were found in respectively 17%, 22%, and 13%. N1 in 43% of the cases (n = 10), N0 in 35% (n = 8), N2b in 17% (n = 4), N2c in 4% (n = 1). All patients were M0. All the patients in this series have undergone surgical treatment. At 5 years, the survival rate was 83%.
UNASSIGNED: Since the proportions of women in published studies are limited, there are still many controversies about gender differences in laryngeal cancer. Therefore, further studies should seek a clearer understanding of factors involved in female laryngeal cancer to adopt more appropriately the measures of prevention and early diagnosis.

Laryngectomy is a common surgery for an oncosurgeon, but underlying carotid compromise is a serious concern for anesthesiologists, making this routine procedure a high-risk one. The utmost vigilance of the anesthesiologist is demanded by the surgery to prevent morbidities such as hemiplegia, hemiparesis, or speech abnormalities that may occur due to perfusion insufficiency secondary to the mechanical blockage of the carotid arteries. Hence, an undiagnosed case of carotid artery block may result in disastrous consequences for the patient, surgeon, and anesthesiologist. Hence, it is imperative to perform all the pre-operative investigations with due diligence. We present the case of a 74-year-old male who was admitted to our set-up for laryngeal carcinoma surgery. The patient had received chemoradiotherapy (CRT) six months earlier. He complained of hoarseness in his voice and a painless neck mass. He was a known case of hypertension for 14 years, controlled by oral medication, and had a history of stroke five years ago, when he was also diagnosed with a completely blocked right common carotid artery (CCA) and a partially blocked left common carotid artery.

The incidence of laryngeal tuberculosis has steadily increased due to rising prevalence of HIV infection, immunosuppressive diseases and treatments, and the emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms and atypical mycobacteria. We report on a woman with a unique presentation of laryngeal tuberculosis mimicking lymphoma to remind clinicians that the diagnosis of laryngeal tuberculosis merits awareness and that delay in diagnosis poses a serious threat to the patient due to delayed treatment and further complications.

Acute airway obstruction caused by invasive laryngeal cancer can make surgeons reluctant to perform a high-risk tracheostomy, which is life-saving for such patients. In the setting of the current COVID19 pandemic, we present a case of severe transglottic stenosis due to stage IV laryngeal carcinoma, in which gaseous exchange was facilitated by venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation prior to emergent tracheostomy. The VV technique can ensure adequate oxygenation and CO2 removal. Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation provided sufficient time for surgical planning and preparation. It reduced the formation of aerosol, lowered the risk associated with life-saving tracheostomy, and protected the patient from ischemia.

A 75-year-old male patient was hospitalized in hoarseness for 2 months. Laryngoscopy showed a mass protruding in right laryngeal chamber and covering the middle part of right vocal cord. Since tumor biopsy showed low differentiation cancer, he received total laryngectomy, and post-operative pathological result found composite carcinoma, which containing medium differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (about 5%) and low differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma (about 95%). The growth status of tumor indicated it was collision carcinoma. After postoperative regular radiotherapy, no recurrence was found at 6 months of follow-up. The incidence of head and neck collision carcinoma is quite low, and the majority of them occurs in thyroid, which is rare in larynx. The confirmed diagnosis of larynx collision carcinoma is based on postoperative pathological study. The choice of treatment for collision cancer is closely related to the pathological components, the location of the disease and whether there is distant metastasis.

UNASSIGNED: Carcinoma of the larynx is an extremely uncommon clinical entity in pediatric age. The diagnosis of the laryngeal carcinoma is often delayed due to the low index of suspicion. The factors contributing to delayed diagnosis include the similarity of its symptoms to common benign lesions of the larynx in childhood and difficult examination of the larynx in pediatric patients. The treatment of laryngeal carcinoma is still a challenge due to the lack of available guidelines among pediatric patients.
UNASSIGNED: An 11-year-old male presented with hoarseness of voice over the last 3 month and was diagnosed with laryngeal carcinoma based on the fiberoptic nasopharyngolaryngoscopy examinations and biopsy. He was treated with a complete course of radiotherapy.
UNASSIGNED: This case is reported due to the paucity of the laryngeal carcinoma cases among pediatric patients in medical literature. The obtained results will create awareness among clinician to rule out laryngeal carcinoma in pediatric patients with laryngeal symptoms, such as the hoarseness of voice which will help early diagnosis and treatment.
