Laryngeal carcinoma. A 59-year-old man with 45-pack-year smoking history presenting with 6 weeks of hoarseness. Axial (a) and coronal (b) contrast-enhanced CT images reveal near-complete obliteration of the laryngeal airway by a polypoid soft tissue mass, which extends inferiorly into the subglottic airway. Note the trace residual airway remnant anteriorly (white arrow). There is asymmetric high attenuation of the right arytenoid cartilage (white arrowhead), consistent with sclerosis and involvement of the lesion. Axial fusion PET/CT image (c) reveals a hypermetabolic mass centered at the larynx (black arrow). Biopsy revealed squamous cell carcinoma
