Abstract:The incidence of laryngeal cancer has been increasing annually. Glottic carcinoma represents the most prevalent subtype of this malignancy. The risk of occult metastasis to cervical lymph nodes in early-stage glottic carcinoma is estimated to be between 0% and 8%. In recent years, the management of head and neck cancers has fully transitioned into the era of immunotherapy, with immunotherapy now serving as the first-line treatment for metastatic head and neck cancers. This paper reports a patient with glottic carcinoma (T2N0M0) who found tracheoesophageal groove lymph node metastasis 16 months after surgery (right vocal cord resection, frontal vertical hemilaryngectomy, and platysma flap repair for laryngeal function reconstruction). The patient received a combination of immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. During the treatment, the patient's symptoms improved, and the tumor size was reduced by 96.56% compared to its previous state. The patient has been regularly followed up until December 2024, achieving a survival duration of 53 months. Imaging examinations suggest that the tumor has remained stable without any new metastatic lesions.
