Larynx cancer is the commonest malignancy of upper aerodigestive tract. However, laryngeal cancer is extremely rare in childhood since these tumors are generally not suspected in the differential diagnosis of hoarseness, dysphagia and/or progressive airway obstruction in children; diagnosis can be made relatively late. In this report we would like to present a case of advanced stage pediatric laryngeal carcinoma who was treated with chemoradiotherapy and remained well on her 5-year follow-up.
喉癌是上呼吸道消化道最常见的恶性肿瘤。然而，喉癌在儿童时期极为罕见，因为在儿童声音嘶哑、吞咽困难和/或进行性气道阻塞的鉴别诊断中，通常不会怀疑这些肿瘤；诊断往往相对较晚。在本报告中，我们将介绍一例晚期儿童喉癌病例，该病例接受了放化疗治疗，在5年随访中情况良好。
