Abstract

Aims: To find out the occurrence of lymph node metastasis, level of neck node involvement and the pattern of clinical presentation of patients suffering from laryngeal carcinoma.

Methods: A cross-sectional study on 90 cases of laryngeal carcinoma was carried out in the inpatient department of Otolaryngology- Head and neck surgery of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka during a period of two years. Smoking and chewing betel leaf and tobacco are the most important predisposing factors.
