Laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas represent the most frequent form (over 90%) of laryngeal cancer, but their association with renal tumors is rare; the literature most often reports the synchronous association of carcinoma of the larynx with carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract or with bronchial carcinoma. We report the case of a 60-year-old patient, who is followed for a clear cell carcinoma of the kidney, and in whom we made the diagnosis of a squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx. We illustrate through this observation the rarity and the epidemiological profile of this presentation with a broad review of the literature.
