Sažetak
Aim: To point out the need for permanent monitoring of patients with partial laryngectomy due to cancer. Case report: We have shown a patient who has had the laryngeal cancer three times at intervals of twenty years In 1982, a partial laryngectomy was performed. The second primary tumour was formed on the mucosa of the rest of the larynx in 2000, when the tracheotomy and laryngofissure were performed. The third tumour incidence was in 2002, when retracheotomy and total laryngectomy were performed. In all three cases, there was the case of a planocellular carcinoma. The patient was regularly checked-up since 2000, but he passed away in 2013 at the age of 85. Conclusion: The appearance of the laryngeal planocellular carcinoma is possible years after the successful treatment of the primary tumour. The explanation is found in the remains of the mucosa, which is marked by the field of cancerisation, which is the basis for the incidence of new tumours.
