[Myxoedema after radiotherapy of the laryngeal cancer].
In a 49-year-old woman carcinoma planoepithelialie akeratodes of the right vocal cord was diagnosed. The lesion was removed with the Kleinasser's microsurgery procedure. During telecobaltotherapy, temporary oedema of the face and the neck as well as dysphagia appeared. Myxoedema due to insufficiency of the thyroid was diagnosed after four months since the end of the radiotherapy. Substitutional treatment resulted in the hormonal and clinical improvement of the patient.
