Abstract

Laryngeal adenoid cystic carcinoma (LACC) is a sporadic neoplasm, especially if supraglottic. The COVID-19 pandemic worsened the presenting stage of many cancers and impacted their prognosis negatively. Here, a case of a patient with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) with delayed diagnosis and a rapid deterioration with distant metastasis due to the COVID-19 pandemic is illustrated. Next, we present a literature review of this rare glottic ACC. The COVID-19 pandemic worsened the stage of presentation of many cancers and adversely affected their prognosis. The present case had a rapidly lethal course, undoubtedly due to the diagnosis delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted the prognosis of this rare glottic ACC. Strict follow-up is recommended for any suspicious clinical findings, as an early diagnosis will improve the disease prognosis, and to consider the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially on the timing of common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for oncological diseases. In the post-COVID-19 era, it is important to generate new diagnostic scenarios to achieve an increasingly rapid diagnosis of oncological diseases, especially the rare ones, through screening or similar procedures.
