Popis: The larynx and thyroid gland are the most common sites for head and neck malignancies. The existence of two primary cancers are rare and especially if they are in the same region, and both are very invasive. Subglotic laryngeal cancer is the rarest, with only 1% frequency of all laryngeal cancers. We are reporting on a case of a forty-seven- year-old female urgently admitted to the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Clinic in Tuzla, with severe respiratory insufficiency. The patient underwent total laryngectomy, total thyreoidectomy, radical and functional neck dissection. Histological examination showed laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma.
