Abstract: Among differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most commonly encountered histological type.
Patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) show an excellent prognosis. Infiltration of PTC into the larynx is very rare and can worsen
the disease prognosis. We are reporting one such rare case in which PTC showed invasion in the larynx causing narrowing of the airway. We
performed total thyroidectomy with total laryngectomy and neck dissection.
