Abstract
Tracheal invasion is the third most common site of extrathyroideal invasión of thyroid cancer, recognized as a por prognostic indicator. It should be suspected in case of dyspnea, dysphonia, stridor, and hemoptysis. However, up to 30% of cases are asymptomatic, detected at the time of surgery. Routine nasofibroscopy, thorough examination and surgical planning are essential to ensure a complete tumoral resection, improvement in prognostic and local control of disease. We present two cases with cricotracheal resection and end-to-end anastomosis in Otholaringology Service from the Carlos Van Buren Hospital.
