Review Case Reports
[Atypical carcinoid of the larynx. Case report and review of literature].
With an incidence of over 90%, squamous carcinomas are the most frequent laryngeal malignancies. Laryngeal neuroendocrine tumors appear only in approximately 1%. These are aggressive tumours with a high rate of metastases. To date, no diagnosis or treatment guidelines have been established for this entity. ⋯ In atypical carcinoid tumours total resection as well as bilateral neck dissection should be performed, even in cN0 cases. In the presence of cervical lymph node metastases adjuvant radiotherapy is indicated.
