Unusual presentation of head and neck neoplasm

We have a 67‐year‐old Caucasian male presenting with a (T4, N1b, M0) Stage III squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx. He subsequently underwent a total laryngectomy and right radical neck dissection. It was only determined by the pathology report that the cervical nodes in the neck specimen obtained the associated disease, Hodgkin's (mixed cellular lymphoma), rather than the expected well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma found in the larynx. Metastatic work‐up was unrevealing.
