Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma presenting as a pharyngeal mass with ball-valve type obstruction of the larynx
摘要:
Thyroid tumours can compromise the airway by extrinsic compression or invasion of the trachea or larynx and damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve. In this report, the pedunculated extension of a large anaplastic thyroid carcinoma penetrated through the posterior hypopharyngeal wall causing a partial ball-valve type obstruction of the laryngeal inlet on inspiration. This unusual pattern of invasion has not been reported previously.
