A dramatic resolution of yellow nail deformity occurred in a 66-year-old man shortly after the removal of a carcinoma of the larynx. Seventeen months later, a productive cough developed and radiologic evidence of bronchiectasis was found. There was no evidence of lymphedema, pleural effusion, sinusitis, or immunologic abnormalities. At least three other patients with a variant of yellow nail syndrome have died of malignancy. Therefore, the resolution of the nail deformity following laryngectomy may not be fortuitous.
一名66岁男性在喉癌切除术后不久，其黄色甲畸形戏剧性地得到了缓解。17个月后，他出现了咳痰，影像学检查发现有支气管扩张的证据。没有淋巴水肿、胸腔积液、鼻窦炎或免疫异常的证据。至少还有其他三名患有黄色甲综合征变体的患者死于恶性肿瘤。因此，喉切除术后甲畸形的缓解可能并非偶然。
