A ranula is a mucus extravasation pseudocyst typically arising from the sublingual gland, usually confined to the oral floor or submandibular space. Extension into the supraglottic and paraglottic spaces by traversing or defect-bypassing the mylohyoi...
Open partial horizontal laryngectomies (OPHLs) are well-established and oncologically safe procedures for intermediate–advanced laryngeal cancers (LC). T–N categories are well-known prognosticators: herein we tested if “anterior&rdq...
Discrimination of the etiology of arytenoid fixation in cT3 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is crucial for treatment planning. The aim of this retrospective study was to differentiate among possible causes of arytenoid fixation (edema, inflam...
A picture is emerging in which advanced laryngeal cancers (LCs) are potentially not homogeneous and may be characterized by subpopulations which, if identified, could allow selection of patients amenable to organ preservation treatments in contrast t...
Background: The aim of this retrospective study was to identify different radiological features in intermediate–advanced laryngeal cancer (LC) associated with arytenoid fixation, in order to differentiate cases still safely amenable to conserva...
Background and Objectives: Total laryngectomy with partial pharyngectomy is traditionally the principal curative treatment for hypopharyngeal cancer; however, conservative surgical approaches that minimize functional disability are attracting increas...
A 66-year-old man presented with a 2.8 cm lesion of the left vocal cord. On contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans, the tumor extended to the supraglottis, subglottis, paraglottic space and anterior commissure, causing partial obstruction of the...
Background: Preoperative imaging impacts treatment planning and prognosis in laryngeal cancers. We investigated the accuracy of standard computed tomography (CT) in evaluating tumor invasions at critical glottic areas. Methods: CT scans of glottic ca...
Background: Laryngeal cancer constitutes a major burden. Accurate staging is important to determine the optimal treatment approach. However, a head-to-head comparison of diagnostic performance between CT and MRI in patients with laryngeal cancer is l...
Laryngeal pathology requires individualized management because the larynx integrates airway protection, phonation, swallowing, and respiratory function within a compact and highly variable anatomical framework. This narrative review examines how lary...
