巨大な喉頭滑平筋肉腫の一症例

抄録

We report on a case of a giant laryngeal leiomyoma, 5.0×4.8×4.0cm., which grew in aforty-nine-year-old man, and was extracted by laryngofissure, and treated by a deep X-ray therapy (total amount 5000r) after which it was clinically supposed to be almost cured.
A definite diagnosis was not even obtained by the exploration. of the section tissue, which was done six times since this case had come through a peculiar process. Finally, the tissue of the tumor which was extracted operatively proved the diagnosis that it was leiomyoma but from this result it was cautioned that it was dangerous to rely just on a tissue section in diagnosing the case of leiomyoma. This case of laryngeal leiomyoma is the second one reported in Japan since Orii's.
