Carcinoma represents 2.2% all cancers in men 0.4% women, with predilection old aged more than 50 years rather women. Smoking main risk factor. Alcohol, nutritional factors virus as Human papillomavirus (HPV) play a role pathogenesis laryngeal carcinoma. Programmed death-ligand (PDL1) new introduced marke...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To describe the main causes of hoarseness after undergoing tracheal intubation. CONTENTS Hoarseness is one of the most common postoperatory symptoms after tracheal intubation and the effects vary in terms of duration, depending on the factors that caused it and on how severe the damage to the laryngeal structures. This study performed a brief check-up of the anatomic...

The incidence of tuberculosis has progressively decreased in developed countries after the advent of antituberculous chemotherapy, but has recently been increasing again mainly due to migratory flows. Although common in the past and considered to be a prelethal event, laryngeal involvement has become a rarity. We report the case of a 52-year-old female smoker who complained of persistent aphoni...

Laryngeal papillomatosis has a high rate of recurrence after surgery. Narrow band imaging (NBI) is a novel optical enhancement technology used for the diagnosis. This is the first report to date to indicate the availability of the combination of laryngomicro surgery and videoendoscopic surgery for laryngeal papillomatosis using NBI technology. The patients were a 34-year-old man and a 30-year-o...

BACKGROUND The extent of surgical resection for malignant laryngeal lesions influences voice quality. An instrument to estimate histopathologic grading of dysplasia in vivo may spare normal tissue without increasing the risk of local failure. METHODS Laryngeal lesions (N = 39; 21 after administration of delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)) were investigated with laser-induced fluorescence, and th...

introduction:  the aim of this study was to compare the preventive effects of corticosteroids and curcumin on subglottic stenosis in an animal model.  materials and methods: twenty-one male german shepherd dogs were used for this study. after standardized trauma to the subglottic area, the dogs were divided into three groups. group a received curcumin (450 mg/ day) for 15 days; group b received...

UNLABELLED Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a well-known carcinogenic virus, and the association of EBV with some tumours suggests that there may also be an association between laryngeal carcinoma and EBV. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to determine the role of EBV in the aetiology of laryngeal carcinoma. METHOD Prospective investigation the EBV with real time polymerase chain reaction in tu...

We report on a rare case of a laryngeal carcinoma arising in a multifocal pharyngolaryngeal oncocytic papillary cystadenoma (OPC). The disease of a 63-year-old man is well documented by computed and positron emission tomography, histology, and electron microscopy. We could show that an OPC can even develop in the pharynx. The coexistence of both tumors makes this a challenging diagnosis for pat...

Introduction: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is usually a relatively benign disease but can have an aggressive clinical course. The primary treatment for laryngeal papillomatosis is endoscopic resection. However, there is no effective treatment for pulmonary spread of laryngeal papillomatosis. Case Presentation: We describe a rare case of a 19-year-old man with pulmonary spread of l...

The surgical transcervical approach creates a corridor to oropharynx and hypopharynx, which provides excellent exposure for removal of different lesions at these sites. suprahyoid pharyngotomy technique can be used in situations similar the lateral pharyngotomy, like management benign malignant tumors base tongue, posterior pharyngeal wall, excision lingual thyroid. Here, we have discussed deta...
