Zusammenfassung

In dieser Kasuistik wird über ein mittelgradig differenziertes verhornendes Plattenepithelkarzinom des Larynx bei einem 12-jährigen Jungen berichtet. Plattenepithelkarzinome des Larynx im Kindesalter sind sehr selten. In älteren Literaturstudien werden bisher deutlich weniger als 70 Fälle von Kindern mit Kehlkopfkarzinomen beschrieben. Histologisch handelt es sich um die gleichen Varianten wie im Erwachsenenalter. Der Weg zur Diagnosefindung eines Kehlkopfkarzinoms im Kindesalter ist in der Regel länger, da Dysphonie oder Dyspnoe oftmals anderen pädiatrischen Krankheitsbildern zugeordnet werden, keine Risikofaktoren wie bei Erwachsenen eruierbar sind und viele Symptome auf die noch nicht abgeschlossene Entwicklung des Kehlkopfskeletts zurückgeführt werden. Im Allgemeinen werden eine vorangegangene Bestrahlung im Halsbereich oder eine Papillomatose als Risikofaktoren beschrieben. In seltenen Fällen können Translokationen oder Mutationen eine ursächliche Rolle spielen.

Abstract

This is a case report on a middle grade differentiated keratinized squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx in a 12-year-old boy. Squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx is very rare in children and adolescents and in older literature studies less than 70 cases have been reported in children. Histologically the same variants are present as in adults. The way to the final diagnosis of laryngeal carcinoma often takes longer in children because dysphonia or dyspnoe are often caused by other pediatric diseases, risk factors such as those found in adults cannot be elucidated and many symptoms can be due to incomplete development of the laryngeal skeleton. Generally speaking, prior radiation therapy of the neck region and papillomatosis have been described as risk factors. In rare cases translocations or mutations can play a causative role
