Myogenic sarcoma of larynx – a case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Introduction: Myogenic sarcomas (MS) are malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin that include sarcomas of smooth muscle differentiation (leiomyosarcoma, LM) and skeletal muscle differentiation (rhabdomyosarcoma, RM). These neoplasms are extremely rare entities in larynx and often cause diagnostic difficulties. Case: We present a case of laryngeal myogenic sarcoma partially differentiated into LM, treated with a surgical resection and an adjuvant radiotherapy. This study presents management and treatment according to the current literature.
