Summary
Direct invasion of the larynx and trachea by well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma is rare. Management involves surgical resection, with adjuvant radioactive iodine or radiotherapy playing key roles.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Endocrinology
- Oncology
Background:
- Well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (WDTC) rarely invades the upper airway.
- Direct infiltration of the larynx and trachea presents unique management challenges.
