Rare Malignant Tumor in the Larynx; A Case Report

Abstract

An 84-year-old male complained of hoarseness and dyspnea. Laryngeal fiberscopy revealed a peduncular tumor on the right vocal cord. To prevent choking from the tumor, we extirpated it with laryngeal forceps. The tumor was diagnosed histologically as pseudosarcomatous squamous cell carcinoma, and no residual tumor tissue remained. He and his family rejected further treatment because of his pulmonary emphysema. Because the tumor is reported to have poor radiosensitivity, he has been followed with observation only, and there has been no recurrence.
