Laryngeal Framework Reconstruction Using Titanium Mesh Following Partial Laryngectomy for the Treatment of a Giant Cell Tumor of the Larynx

Background: Giant Cell Tumors of the Larynx (GCTL) are quite rare. Here, we have presented a case of GCTL; this patient should have received a total laryngectomy but instead received a partial laryngectomy, and titanium mesh was used to reconstruct the laryngeal framework. Methods: The clinical, imaging, and pathological characteristics of one GCTL case was presented. The procedure for the reconstruction with titanium mesh and the postoperative results were reported. Results: The use of titanium mesh to reconstruct the defect in the laryngeal framework was successful. No postoperative complications occurred, and laryngeal function, including swallowing, breathing, and speech, was well preserved. The patient was free of disease after a 1-year follow-up period. Conclusion: This case demonstrated that it was feasible and appropriate to use titanium mesh to reconstruct a laryngeal framework defect following a partial laryngectomy for the treatment of a GCTL derived from the thyroid cartilage.
