Abstract

A 46-year-old patient who had concurrent symptoms of valleculae metastases and lung cancer and who was diagnosed as small-cell lung cancer, is presented. The patient is the first case of small-cell lung cancer with valleculae epiglottica metastases. Attention was drawn to the importance of laryngoscopic examination in the evalu­ation of patients with primary lung cancer who have symptoms sug­gestive of throat involvement.
