title: [Extrapulmonary small-cell lung cancer].
abstract: We report on a 61-year-old male patient who was admitted due to dysphagia, hoarseness and stridor. CT showed extensive metastasis to the thyroid and left adrenal gland. Histology revealed small-cell lung cancer. A primary tumour could not be detected in the lungs and mediastinum. Good symptom control could be achieved by administration of platinum-based chemotherapy.
