英文摘要 | Invasion of the air passage, especially with intraluminal involvement. of well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma, is rare. Establishing a patent airway before surgery is necessary, but difficult and risky. We report a case of thyroid cancer with intraluminal invasion of the trachea. A 62-year-old schizophrenic woman presented with blood-tinged sputum and dyspnea. She had undergone a thyroid lobectomy 8 years previously. Computed tomography and bronchoscopy showed a protruding mass in the upper trachea and limited movement of the bilateral vocal folds, Emergency tracheostomy was performed to relieve impending apnea. Fine-needle aspiration of the left protruding thyroid gland showed papillary carcinoma. Because the tumor diffusely infiltrated the thyroid gland and intermingled with fibrosis due to the previous thyroid operation, and because there was limited movement of bilateral vocal folds, the patient underwent total laryngectomy, total thyroidectomy, total parathyroidectomy, and tracheal resection. Neither radioactive iodine nor external irradiation were given because of anticipated poor compliance due to schizophrenia. The postoperative course was smooth and thyroid hormone and calcium were supplemented regularly. The patient has lived well and without local recurrence for more than 3 years since the operation. She can speak with an artificial larynx. |
