A 75-year-old person was referred to speech and language therapy for voice rehabilitation following diagnosis of unilateral vocal cord palsy, secondary to relapsed non-small-cell lung cancer. On assessment, the patient presented with moderate-severe dysphonia. In addition, they presented with
Metastasis to the thyroid occur infrequently. The overall incidence in autopsy series vary from 0-5% in unselected cases to 24% in patients with a known malignancy. They usually occur when there are another metastases, sometimes many years after diagnosis of the original primary tumour. We present
The goal of psycho acoustic or subjective voice analysis, in a phoniater's everyday work, is to describe a subjective experience based on the physical parameters created in the process of phonation. The work was a clinical prospective study and the sample consisted of 80 people of both sexes, 40
Urbach-Wiethe syndrome (hyalinosis cutis et mucosae) is an autosomal-recessive inherited disease. It often presents with typical symptoms such as skin lesions (especially in the face and neck area), dyspnea, and maldigestion. Hoarseness is a leading symptom in young children. These manifestations
Granular cell tumors (GCT) are rare and usually benign tumors whose histogenesis is debated. The skin, subcutaneous tissues, and mucosae of the head and neck are areas of predilection for GCT. Laryngeal involvement is uncommon, but may create diagnostic and therapeutic problems when it occurs.
The prevalence of thyroid metastases in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is unknown. We retrieved the records of all patients with CRC and pathologically proved thyroid metastasis for the period 1993-2004. Among 5,862 consecutive patients with CRC, 6 (0.1%) were diagnosed with thyroid metastases, a
