A case of laryngeal rhabdomyosarcoma was reported. The patient was 25-year-old male who complained of hoarseness and slight dyspnea for approximately 2 months prior to admission. Laryngoscopic examination revealed the papillomatous mass in the left vocal cord. Biopsy was taken from the tumor. Histologically this tumor was determined as rhabdomyosarcoma, of embryonal type. The patient was treated by local excision combined with radiotherapy. He has been well without any recurrence for 1 year and five months after combined therapy.
The survey of literature revealed that the incidence in male was almost two times to female, most of laryngeal rhabdomyosarcoma were embyonal type and the patients were treatedby operation or/and radiation. This is the first case report in Japan.
