Laryngeal Adenocarcinoma: Case Report

2008 
Laryngeal adenocarcinomas are extremely unusual (only 0.35%–0.5% of all laryngeal malignancies). It usually behaves as a highly malignant tumour, with tendency for local lymph node and distant organ metastases. We report a case of a 64-year-old man with an adenocarcinoma of the larynx with cervical lymph node involvement at the moment of the diagnosis. The patient was treated with surgery (total laryngectomy and cervical lymph node dissection) and postoperative radiotherapy. Seven months later, the patient had a local recurrence.
