Insights into laryngeal Castleman disease: A comprehensive scoping review with a case study focus.
Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol
February 2025
Introduction: Castleman disease (CD) refers to a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders, which rarely involves the larynx. Our goal in this study is to elucidate the clinical presentation, diagnostic techniques, and treatment methods of laryngeal CD through a scoping review and the addition of a new case.
Methods: Due to limited existing literature, we employed a mixed methodology for review.
Primary Laryngeal Lymphoma: A Case Report of a Rare Entity.
Cureus
October 2024
Otorhinolaryngology, Saveetha institute of medical and technical sciences, Chennai, IND.
Article Synopsis
- * A case study of a 53-year-old male with symptoms like weight loss, hoarseness, and dysphagia led to the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) through a biopsy, following imaging that revealed a significant lesion in the larynx.
- * The patient successfully underwent eight cycles of CHOP chemotherapy, resulting in complete remission with no recurrence in two years, highlighting the need for early detection and treatment due to symptom similarities with other laryngeal issues.
Acute Supraglottitis Causing Airway Obstruction in Adults - A Case Series.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
December 2024
Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Saveetha Medical College and Hospitals, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 602,105 India.
Article Synopsis
- Acute adult supraglottitis is a critical condition characterized by inflammation in the throat area, which can quickly lead to airway problems.
- Patients often present with symptoms like breathing difficulties, sore throat, and changes in voice, and many have underlying conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes.
- Effective management involves both conservative treatments like antibiotics and steroids, as well as urgent procedures like tracheostomy, highlighting the need for quick and accurate diagnosis and intervention.
Rehabilitation for complicated dysphagia after synchronous head-and-neck and esophageal cancer surgery: A case report.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study illustrates a patient with multiple squamous cell carcinomas in the tonsil, epiglottis, and esophagus, who sought therapy for swallowing issues after surgery.
- * Through an 8-week rehabilitation program, including various therapeutic techniques, the patient improved significantly and was able to resume partial eating without aspiration after addressing an anastomotic stricture.
Can dysphagia aspiration related structures (DARS) be spared in patients with oropharyngeal cancers? Dosimetric evaluation in a prospective study of DARS optimized intensity modulated radiation therapy.
J Cancer Res Ther
July 2024
Department of Radiation Oncology, Tata Memorial Hospital, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Parel, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess whether it is possible to protect the structures involved in swallowing and aspiration (DARS) during radiation therapy for head and neck cancer, while still effectively treating the tumors.
- - Researchers outlined specific target areas and dose limits for DARS in 35 patients, finding that the average dose received by these critical structures varied depending on the type of cancer and the size of the tumor volume.
- - Results indicated that sparing DARS was more difficult for patients with oropharyngeal cancers compared to laryngopharyngeal cancers, but it was achievable when the tumor volume was less than 150 cc or in patients with no or only one affected lymph node.
