Abstract

Laryngeal cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Indian males. Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common subtype of thyroid cancer in 80% of cases and has a tendency to metastasize to lymph nodes. Patients with laryngeal cancers undergoing laryngectomy might have other occult primaries including thyroid carcinoma especially in patients with recurrent laryngeal carcinomas. We report a case of recurrent laryngeal carcinoma with incidental carcinomas. This study was conducted at TATA medical center, Kolkata.
