Abstract

A 61 year old man was referred for upper digestive endoscopy having dyspeptic syndrome. He also associated hoarseness. The examination revealed an ulcer scar on the gastric angle (chronic gastritis upon histological examination) and a well differentiated spinocellular laryngeal carcinoma, further treated by surgical excision.
