Nonsquamous neoplasms of the larynx

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America

Abstract

While squamous cell carcinoma is the most common neoplasm to involve the larynx, several other histologic tumor types can occur. The laryngologist should consider a nonsquamous neoplasm when the tumor is long-standing, pigmented, covered by intact mucosa, or there is a history of neoplasia. Careful endoscopy, often using microlaryngoscopy, and careful handling of the tissue will ensure accurate diagnosis.
