Abstract
A combination of laryngeal carcinoma and subsequent primary lung cancer is rare yet important in terms of therapeutic strategy and prognosis.
We present a case of primary squamous cell laryngeal carcinoma treated with laryngectomy and chemoradiation therapy. One year later, the patient developed metachronous squamous cell carcinoma of the lung and underwent left pneumonectomy.
A second primary lung cancer after laryngeal cancer presents a significant challenge for surgeons, oncologists, and radiotherapists. The differentiation between lung metastasis and primary lung cancer is of paramount importance for the correct therapeutic strategy and prognosis.
