Renal Cell Carcinoma Metastasizing to the Cricoid Cartilage Presenting With Subglottic Stenosis: A Case Report and Literature Review
Ear Nose Throat J. 2023 May 26:1455613231177188. doi: 10.1177/01455613231177188. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 72-year-old Japanese man with a 4-month history of hoarseness and 1-week history of difficulty breathing was admitted to our department. He underwent right total nephrectomy for primary clear cell-type renal cell carcinoma (RCC) 6 years ago and left partial nephrectomy for the metastasis 4 years ago. Flexible laryngeal fiberscope examination revealed bilateral subglottic stenosis without obvious mucosal lesions. Enhanced computerized tomography (CT) scan of the neck revealed that the cricoid cartilage had become...

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 2861: Partial Laryngectomy for pT4a Laryngeal Cancer: Outcomes and Limits in Selected Cases
Rizzotto Erika Crosetti A large multi-institutional case series of laryngeal cancer (LC) T4a was carried out, including 134 cases treated with open partial horizontal laryngectomies (OPHL) +/− post-operative radiation therapy (PORT). The goal was to understand better whether OPHL can be included among the viable options in selected pT4a LC patients who refuse a standard approach, represented by total laryngectomy (TL) + PORT. All 134 patients underwent OPHL type I (supraglottic), II (supracricoid), or III (supratracheal), according to the European Laryngological Society Classification. Comparing clinica...

The Incidence and the Risk Factors for Pharyngocutaneous Fistula following Primary and Salvage Total Laryngectomy
Cancers (Basel). 2023 Apr 12;15(8):2246. doi: 10.3390/cancers15082246.ABSTRACTThe pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) is the most common complication following a total laryngectomy (TL) with a wide range of incidence and various potential risk factors. The aim was to analyse the incidence and potential risk factors for PCF formation in a large study set collected over a longer period of time. In the retrospective study at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Cervicofacial Surgery of Ljubljana, 422 patients who were treated for head and neck cancer by TL between 2007 and 2020 were included. The comprehensive clinicopatholo...

Meta-analysis of risk factors associated with pharyngocutaneous fistulas following total laryngectomy
CONCLUSIONS: This review is a comprehensive analysis of the risk factors associated with pharyngocutaneous fistulas following total laryngectomy. Age, smoking, T-stage, previous radiotherapy and preoperative albumin were found to be the risk factors.PMID:37193158 | PMC:PMC10182486 (Source: American Journal of Translational Research)
