Adult laryngeal rhabdomyosarcomas are rare tumours commonly treated by laryngectomy.
We present a case of subglottic laryngeal rhabdomyosarcoma in an elderly woman, treated by endoscopic resection.
Despite the fact that this tumour is traditionally treated aggressively, this approach is not supported by the literature. Due to the varying biological behaviour of this tumour in adults, we believe that conservative surgical procedures or combination therapies should be preferred, rather than total laryngectomy.
成人喉横纹肌肉瘤是罕见肿瘤,通常采用喉切除术治疗。
我们报告一例老年女性声门下喉横纹肌肉瘤,采用内镜切除术治疗。
尽管传统上对该肿瘤采取积极治疗方法,但文献并不支持这种做法。由于该肿瘤在成人中的生物学行为各异,我们认为应首选保守手术程序或联合治疗,而非全喉切除术。
