Nonepithelial tumors of the larynx, especially sarcoma of this structure is rarely ob served. This study is based on unusual laryngeal neoplasma reported in the international literature from 1928 until 1985. In this literature, we found 53 cases of rhabdomyosasrcoma of the larynx. The incidence, distribuion by sex and age, and clincopathological manifes tations are tabulated. Rhabdomyosarcoma of the larynx generally requires treatment by a combination of extensive surgery and chemotherapy, and a long period of post-operative observations. We report our own experience in the management of a 57-year-old male pa tient suffering from a rhabdomyosarcoma who was treated by total laryngectomy. Neither recurrence nor distant metastasis has been observed in the past 3 years.
