Abstract EN
Laryngeal secondary malignancies are rare, and most spread locoregionally from hypopharyngeal or thyroid primaries.
Metastasis of ovarian carcinoma to the larynx is extremely rare.
A 65-year-old woman with a history of high grade serous ovarian carcinoma was undergoing carboplatin chemotherapy for recurrence.
She presented with progressive dysphagia and hoarseness; a computer tomography (CT) scan demonstrated bilateral necrotic lymphadenopathy and hypopharyngeal fullness.
A hypopharyngeal mass was confirmed on examination, and operative biopsy identified it as high-grade serous ovarian.
To our knowledge, this report describes the second immunohistochemically proven metastatic ovarian cancer detected in the larynx in the world literature.
