The authors studied a statistical survey of the autopsy cases of the malignant laryngeal tumor (MLT), which were collected from the annuals of the pathological autopsy cases in Japan during five years from 1972 to 1976, in order to examine the actual condition of the MLT in Japan.
The total number of 363 cases of the MLT (Male: 326, Female: 35, Unknown: 2) were revealed, and the average age of the cases was 65. 0 years old (Male: 64.8, Female: 665). Histopathologically, 318 cases showed squamous cell carcinoma. About the age distribution at autopsy, 144 cases were in seventh decade. Multiple primary cancers affecting both the larynx and the other organs were found in 65 cases (double: 60, triple: 5).
