Abstract
Objectives: To study the behavior of anterior commissure carcinoma regarding its tendency for cartilage invasion. Methods: Histopathological examination of the region of the anterior commissure (AC) was done with whole organ section in 30 randomly selected specimens. Serial sections were prepared and examined histopathologically for evidence of microscopic cartilage invasion in the region of the AC. Results: Microscopic involvement of the thyroid cartilage was detected in the 30 sections studied. Conclusion: Whether recurrence was de novo or initiated by residual malignant cells, it is mandatory to excise the anterior portion of the thyroid cartilage with the tumor-bearing mucosa.
