Prostate cancer usually metastasizes to regional lymph nodes and bone. Laryngeal cartilage metastases are very rare and only few cases have been published so far describing thyroid cartilage metastatic lesions from prostate cancer. Here, we describe 5 cases of carcinoma prostate, 3 staging and 2 follow-up, where 68 Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan revealed multiple skeletal lesions along with thyroid cartilage metastasis. Initially, laryngeal cartilage metastases remain asymptomatic and in later stages patients present with symptoms. These metastatic lesions to thyroid cartilage are rare entities and can often easily be missed on conventional imaging. PET-CT imaging has overcome this diagnostic problem due to its ability to provide for both anatomical and functional imaging.

“…Metastases to the larynx are rare. The first fully documented case was from an adenocarcinoma of the kidney (Turner, 1924). Menzel (1912) reported an earlier case of presumed hypernephroma in the larynx but never identified the primary and no post-mortem examination was performed.…”

“… 3–7 Melanomas and hypernephromas have been found to be the most common tumors in case of laryngeal metastasis diagnosis, 8 followed by breast, lung, and colon tumors (Table I). 1–7,9–75 Laryngeal metastases due to prostatic cancer have been found to be a rare event in clinical practice. Only 13 observations of laryngeal prostatic metastases have been reported in the literature (Table II).…”
