Laryngeal paragangliomas are an uncommon presentation of head and neck paragangliomas, with laryngeal paragangliomas along with a synchronous paraganglioma being exceptionally rare. We present two challenging cases of laryngeal paragangliomas with extralaryngeal extension, completely resected through a transcervical approach without endolaryngeal disruption, with one case having synchronous bilateral carotid body tumours. Both patients had excellent results with complete tumour resection and no resultant functional impact. The surgical approaches for large laryngeal paraganglioma are discussed with considerations for endolaryngeal, transcervical and combined approaches as well as decision-making when approaching these rare lesions in the setting of synchronous head and neck paragangliomas.
喉副神经节瘤是头颈部副神经节瘤的一种罕见表现,喉副神经节瘤伴发同步副神经节瘤则极为罕见。我们报告了两例具有喉外扩展的具有挑战性的喉副神经节瘤病例,通过经颈部入路完全切除,而无需破坏喉内结构,其中一例伴有双侧颈动脉体瘤。两例患者均因完全切除肿瘤且无功能影响而获得良好效果。讨论了大型喉副神经节瘤的手术入路,包括考虑经喉、经颈部和联合入路,以及在头颈部副神经节瘤的背景下处理这些罕见病变时的决策。
