Abstract
Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is one of the most common primary tumors of the head and neck region. Unfortunately, patients with laryngeal SCC tend to develop second primary tumors (SPTs), accounting for increased mortality. The lung is the predominant site of a second presentation, followed by the mucosa of the upper aerodigestive tract. In contrast, the thyroid gland rarely hosts an SPT. Our study describes the management and treatment of a 69-year-old female who presented with a rare combination of synchronous laryngeal and thyroid carcinomas.
