Abstract
A 70 year old male with polypoidal tumor of the larynx was encountered by the authors. Histological findings revealed sarcoma-like areas with spindle cells and giant cells. The authors could not find the areas of apparent squamous cell carcinoma.
After various staining procedures, the histogenesis of the tumor was considered to be of epithelial origin and so-called carcinosarcoma seemed the most likely diagnosis.
The patient is in favorable condition today, 6 months after total laryngectomy.
