The thyroid cartilage metastatic involvement is an extremely rare entity. It can be asymptomatic at the earlier stage and can become symptomatic later on. Involvement of thyroid cartilage is frequent in melanoma and renal and rarely reported in an advanced stage of carcinoma prostate, breast, and lung. These cases were usually reported on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) as can often easily be missed on computed tomography scan alone. We present a case report of metastatic involvement of thyroid cartilage in squamous cell carcinoma of buccal mucosa detected on the whole-body 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT.

Metastatic laryngeal cancer is a rare entity, usually indicating an advanced disease once discovered. In this report, we are describing a case of a 60-year-old male patient with stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC), who presented to our clinic with dysphonia; further workups showed metastatic CRC.

Laryngeal metastasis is an extremely rare condition. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no previous report on a laryngeal metastasis from renal cell carcinoma, which describes on details of the CT and MR imaging findings. A male patient in his 80s. Laryngoscopy revealed reddish-colored masses in the right false vocal cord and in the subglottic larynx. CT and MR imaging of this case showed multiple hypervascularized lesions with a wash-out effect in the supra and subglottis of the larynx and in the right intervertebral foramen of the cervical spine. Angiography revealed a hypervascular tumor consistent with the subglottic lesion. The histopathology and immunohistochemistry findings were compatible with laryngeal metastasis from renal clear cell carcinoma. A history of postoperative renal clear cell carcinoma about 7 years ago was later confirmed, which was not stated at the time of the initial imaging evaluation. It is a possible differential diagnosis in cases of multiple hypervascular masses in the head and neck region with a history of renal carcinoma. In particular, if the contrast-enhancement pattern of the lesion on the dynamic CT is similar to that of renal cell carcinoma. It is also important to reconfirm the patient\'s medical history, including postoperative status.

A 55-year-old man underwent right radical nephrectomy after the diagnosis of right renal cell carcinoma (RCC). He did not show any relapse or metastasis for 3 years and 5 months after surgery. He was admitted to the hospital in April 2014 with a throat discomfort. Laryngoscopy revealed a 5 mm supraglottic mass. The tumor was locally excised and pathology revealed metastatic RCC. While RCC frequently metastasizes to the lungs, bones, lymph nodes, and brain, an isolated metastasis of RCC to the larynx is an extremely rare event. We report a case of isolated RCC metastasis to the supraglottic larynx 3 years and 5 months after radical nephrectomy.
