title: Long-term survival after resection of metastases in the lungs and larynx originating from sigmoid colon cancer: report of a case.
abstract: Metastatic neoplasms in the larynx from remote primary tumors are uncommon, and laryngeal metastasis originating from the colorectum is extremely rare. We herein report a case of metastatic laryngeal carcinoma originating from sigmoid colon cancer in a 54-year-old female. Curative partial laryngectomy was performed, and the patient remains alive with a good quality of life and no signs of recurrence seven years and eight months after sigmoidectomy and four years and eight months after partial laryngectomy.
