Carcinoma of prostate metastasizing to vocal cord.
Metastatic involvement of the larynx by carcinoma of the prostate is a rare event: only 5 cases are recorded in the English literature. We report a case of prostatic carcinoma with symptomatic metastasis to the right vocal cord. Five months after the diagnosis of metastatic disease in the vocal cord the patient died of widespread metastases. We report the sixth case of this event and review the reported cases in the literature.
