Extensive laryngeal infiltration from a neglected papillary thyroid carcinoma: A case report

Figure 1 Axial computed tomography imaging revealed the thyroid mass has infiltrated both thyroid and cricoid cartilages (A and B). The thyroid cartilage on the left side and the left lateral side of the cricoid cartilage were completely infiltrated with the right side showing extensive infiltration.

Figure 2 Intra-operative image showing the extent of the thyroid mass with absence of the thyroid cartilage (white arrow) (A) and posterior view of the excised larynx held by the clamps from the epiglottis (†) showed complete absence of the thyroid cartilage on the left (black arrow) some remnants of the thyroid cartilage on the right (‡) and posterior infiltration of the cricoid cartilage (arrow heads) (B).
