Abstract
- Primary squamous cell carcinomas arising from the thyroid is an extremely rare malignancy, which clinically can invade the larynx and trachea. In such an event, thyroidectomy with en bloc resection and reconstruction is the treatment of choice. However, laryngotracheal reconstruction remains a challenge and no ideal reconstruction has yet been established. Herein, we report a case of a thyroid squamous cell carcinoma invading the laryngotrachea. The tumor was completely resected surgically, including the laryngotrachea wall, which was reconstructed with a radial forearm free flap. The patient was decannulated one year after surgery and no evidence of disease was detected two years after surgery.
