Carcinoid tumour of the larynx is a rare condition but one that is being increasingly recognised. We report the case of a 66 year old lady with an advanced malignant laryngeal carcinoid, metastasizing to the regional lymph nodes, thyroid and submandibular glands. Surgery is the treatment of choice in this condition--radiotherapy and chemotherapy being ineffective. Prognosis is poor, and most patients eventually die of distant metastases. The clinical, biochemical and histological findings are reviewed.
喉类癌肿瘤是一种罕见疾病，但如今越来越受到关注。我们报告一例66岁女性患者，患有晚期恶性喉类癌，已转移至区域淋巴结、甲状腺及下颌下腺。对于这种情况，手术是首选治疗方法，放疗和化疗均无效。预后较差，大多数患者最终死于远处转移。本文对其临床、生化及组织学检查结果进行了综述。
