Synchronous Laryngeal Primary Cancer in a Patient with Esophageal Squamous Carcinoma Cell . A Case Report
Main Article Content
Abstract
Unexpected diagnosis of primary synchronous cancer in a patient with esophageal squamous carcinoma cell makes therapeutic management difficult. the careful evaluation of synchronous tumors is a primority aspect of management. we present the unusual case of an individual with esophageal squamous carcinomas cell synchronously associated with another primary laryngeal tumor. Initial clinical assessment was performed and consisting in a pan endoscopy and FDG-Pet scan / CT revealed the presence of synchronous head and neck and esophageal carcinoma (SHNEC). As recommended in the literature, surgical resection was not indicated. In this case radio chemotherapy often remains the only therapeutic alternative which guarantees a better result and improves the prognosis. The patient progressed well under concomitant radio chemotherapy even if complications inherent to this treatment required the cessation of treatment for a short period.
