AbstractMalignant tumors of the larynx are an important disease entity in otorhinolaryngology and mainly involve squamous cell carcinomas. Different epithelial or mesenchymal malignant tumors are reported only sporadically and metastases localized in the larynx are even rarer. In this report we present a patient who was found to have a laryngeal metastasis from an adenocarcinoma. An ovarian carcinoma treated 7 years previously was the primary tumor and first metastasized into the left lung and then into the subglottig area of the larynx. Because the surgical procedures and chemotherapy used for each lesion were successful and no local recurrences were found, the same therapeutic rules for the treatment of metastases to the larynx should be applied as in cases of primary malignancies.
