Melanoma metastatic to the larynx is an extremely rare entity. This paper describes two patients previously treated for cutaneous melanoma who developed recurrent melanoma involving their larynges. Surgical excision of these lesions was accomplished with the carbon dioxide laser. Apparently, these two patients are the first reported cases of successful management of melanoma metastatic to the larynx using laser surgery. The paper also discusses the evolving history and diagnosis of laryngeal melanoma, the use of the carbon dioxide laser in the treatment of other laryngeal and tracheobronchial lesions, the incidence of cutaneous and mucosal melanoma of the head and neck, and the diagnostic evaluation and management of melanoma.
转移性喉黑素瘤是一种极其罕见的疾病。本文描述了两名曾接受皮肤黑素瘤治疗的患者，他们出现了累及喉部的复发性黑素瘤。使用二氧化碳激光对这些病变进行了手术切除。显然，这两名患者是首例报道的成功使用激光手术治疗转移性喉黑素瘤的病例。本文还讨论了喉黑素瘤的发展历程和诊断、二氧化碳激光在治疗其他喉部和气管支气管病变中的应用、头颈部皮肤和黏膜黑素瘤的发病率，以及黑素瘤的诊断评估和治疗。
