Invaded, Moderately Differentiated Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of Larynx

#382

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasm is extremely unusual and rare in the larynx. It accounts for less than 1% of all laryngeal malignancies. According to the origin, this tumor can be divided into neural and epithelial groups and epithelial origin tumors are further sub-classified based on the degree of differentiation (well-, moderately and poorly differentiated).

Aim(s): We present a 71 y/o male with laryngeal carcinoid.

Materials and methods: A 71-year-old man who presented with hoarseness and a laryngeal mass for which histopathology assessment revealed moderately differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma of the larynx with invasion to muscular layer, cartilage and the lymphatic system.
