AI Article Synopsis
- The coexistence of laryngoceles and laryngeal carcinoma is under debate, with various theories about their relationship.
- A case study was presented involving a 66-year-old male with both bilateral laryngomucoceles and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
- A detailed examination revealed that cancer spreading caused stenosis, which created a one-way valve effect in the laryngeal area, ultimately leading to the stagnation of secretions and the formation of laryngomucoceles.
Article Abstract
Coexistence of laryngoceles and laryngeal carcinoma is still being debated, and there are several suggested theories about the pathophysiological relationship between these two entities. We present the case of a 66-year-old male patient with bilateral laryngomucoceles and laryngeal squamos cell carcinoma. A systematic hystological examination of whole organ sections showed that the submucosal spreading of cancer around the saccular necks on both sides caused stenosis which probably created a one-way valve mechanism allowing air to enter the saccule but not to exit. Progression of the tumor completely obstructed the laryngeal opening, leading to glandular secretion stagnation and formation of laryngomucoceles.
