Abstract:
Metastases to the larynx from distant primary malignancies are quite rare, but they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of submucosal laryngeal lesions. An 80-year-old male presented to our clinic with complaints of productive cough and hoarseness. Videolaryngoscopy revealed submucosal fullness in the right hemilarynx, pushing the right band ventricle mucosa medially and causing evident narrowing of the airway. Histopathological evaluation and immunohistochemical staining of the endolaryngeal submucosal biopsy specimen, obtained from the right ventricular fold, was diagnosed as laryngeal metastasis of prostate adenocarcinoma. This case is presented due to the scarcity of laryngeal metastases from prostate adenocarcinoma and is discussed in the context of literature.
