Primary squamous cell carcinomas arising from the thyroid is an extremely rare malignancy,which clinically can invade the larynx and trachea. In such an event, thyroidectomy with enbloc resection and reconstruction is the treatment of choice. However, laryngotracheal recon-struction remains a challenge and no ideal reconstruction has yet been established. Herein, wereport a case of a thyroid squamous cell carcinoma invading the laryngotrachea. The tumorwas completely resected surgically, including the laryngotrachea wall, which was reconstruct-ed with a radial forearm free flap. The patient was decannulated one year after surgery and noevidence of disease was detected two years after surgery.
