Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma rarely arises in the larynx, especially in the subglottic region. We reported here, a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma arising in the subglottic region of the larynx. The patient was a 51-year-old female who developed hoarseness and dyspnea. Laryngeal fiberscopy revealed a tumor mass in the subglottic region and the histopathological diagnosis was adenoid cystic carcinoma, cribriform type. The patient underwent a total laryngectomy with subsequent 40 Gy localized irradiation. She has been well for the last year and four months without recurrence or metastasis.
