[Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the larynx. Case report and literature review]
Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare neoplasm that comprise approximately 0.25% of all laryngeal malignancies. The rarity of these lesions has prohibited clarification of definitive therapy. Traditionally, radical surgery is performed because of the usually high stage at presentation. A case of larynx ACC is reported. The literature on this topic has been reviewed, in order to describe the natural course and the different treatments of this tumor.
