Carcinoma larynx in pregnancy: A case report

Abstract

Cancer complicates approximately 0.1% of all pregnancies. Head and neck cancer during pregnancy is uncommon. Specifically, laryngeal cancer in pregnancy has only been previously reported 10 times.From a maternal outcome perspective, 60% of laryngeal cancer during pregnancy cases reported recurrence-free survival. Patient should be counseled on the risk for potential disease recurrence after treatment and delivery.Thus pregnant cancer patients should be treated in a multidisciplinary setting with access to maternal and neonatal intensive care units.
