Leiomyosarcoma involving the larynx is extremely rare and may be difficult to diagnose. Because of the rarity of this tumor, little information exists on its long-term follow-up and optimal management. We present a review of the literature and report on a patient with leiomyosarcoma of the larynx treated with surgery and postoperative irradiation. In addition, the diagnosis and treatment of leiomyosarcoma are discussed. At six months' follow-up the patient showed no signs of local recurrence but had developed metastases to both lungs.
累及喉部的平滑肌肉瘤极为罕见，可能难以诊断。由于这种肿瘤罕见，关于其长期随访和最佳治疗方案的信息很少。我们对文献进行了综述，并报告了一例接受手术和术后放疗的喉部平滑肌肉瘤患者。此外，还讨论了平滑肌肉瘤的诊断和治疗。在六个月的随访中，患者没有局部复发的迹象，但已出现双肺转移。
