A case of primary laryngeal adenocarcinoma was reported. The patient was a 63-year old male who had undergone surgical treatment for gastric and esophageal cancer 27 months before. His complaints were horseness and fullness of the larynx. A tumor was noted on the laryngeal surface of the epiglottis. On the basis of a biopsy a histological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma was made. A total laryngectomy was performed for the treatment. A detailed histopathological study of the surgical specimen revealed that the disease was a primary laryngeal adenocarcinoma originating from the small salivary gland.
