Non-secretory medullary thyroid carcinoma with laryngotracheal invasion: a case report and review of the literature
MTC is a rare type of thyroid neoplasia that can manifest with various symptoms resulting from either the primary lesion or secondary invasion. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment, however, there are limited options and no approved adjuvant therapies for patients with disseminated MTC. Complications that arise after total thyroidectomy and laryngectomy can be noteworthy and demand careful surveillance and immediate treatment to prevent further deterioration.
