“…Low-grade MECs have better prognosis in adults than SCCs20 whereas high-grade tumors are associated with a lower survival rate, even lower than the survival rates of SCC 19. Moreover, many early SCCs of larynx are best treated by irradiation whereas MECs are successfully treated by surgical excision 21. Despite of all these differences, these tumors are vastly misdiagnosed with each other histologically 19.…”

“… 19 Moreover, many early SCCs of larynx are best treated by irradiation whereas MECs are successfully treated by surgical excision. 21 Despite of all these differences, these tumors are vastly misdiagnosed with each other histologically. 19 Some cases have been reported in the literature that were initially diagnosed as SCC but the presence of glandular structures in metastatic lymph nodes and positive mucicarmine stain changed the final diagnosis to MEC.…”

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of salivary glands. However, it is a rare entity in larynx. Laryngeal cases are frequently misdiagnosed with other malignancies and they are under-reported. So, recognizing the clinical and histological features of this tumor is essential. Laryngeal mucoepidermoid carcinoma can arise in supraglottis, glottis and subglottis. Generally, it presents as a submucosal mass; therefore, progressive symptoms without any identifiable lesion in laryngoscopy must be well considered. The prognosis is somehow dependent on the histological features. In high-grade tumors, recurrence is more common and radical surgery with radiotherapy is recommended. In this paper, we provide a thorough literature review on mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the larynx. The most important distinguishing features of mucoepidermoid carcinoma and its two major differential diagnoses (squamous cell carcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma) are clearly stated and pitfalls in true diagnosis of this tumor are discussed.

“…Laryngeal metastases account for only 0.09-0.5% of all laryngeal tumors (1,2). The majority of laryngeal metastases correspond to malignant melanomas (39.1%) or carcinomas of distant origin such as the kidney (13.3%) (2,3).…”

“…To date, 436 laryngeal neuroendocrine carcinomas (LNC) have been reported in the literature [3]. Laryngeal neuroendocrine carcinomas are also divided into three subgroups according to their degree of differentiation: differentiated LNC (carcinoid), moderately differentiated LNC (atypical carcinoid) and poorly differentiated LNC (small cell) [4,5]. Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNC) is an extremely aggressive tumor and is most frequently seen in the lungs.…”

ÖzetLarenksin küçük hücreli nöroendokrin karsinomu çok nadir görülür ve agresif seyirli tümörlerdendir. Nöroendokrin karsinomlar en sık olarak akciğerde görülürüler.Baş boyun bölgesinde ise en sık olarak larenkste görülürler. Primer larenks küçük hücreli nöroendokrin karsinomu tüm laringeal neoplazmların %0.5'den azını teş-kil eder. Az diferansiye larenks nöroendokrin karsinom tanısı konulup kemoradyoterapi tedavisi uygulanan 41 yaşında erkek hasta literatür eşliğinde sunulmuştur. Anahtar KelimelerNöroendokrin Tümör; Larenks; Karsinom Abstract A small cell neuroendocrine neoplasm of the larynx is a very rare and aggressive type of malignancy. Neuroendocrine carcinomas are most frequently seen in the lungs. The larynx is the most frequently involved site in the head and neck.Primary small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the larynx constitutes less than 0.5% of all laryngeal cancers. This paper reports a case of a 41-year-old-male patient who presented with a poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma of the supraglottic larynx.
