A case of laryngeal carcinoid in a 54-year-old Korean female is reported and discussed. This tumor is extremely rare in the larynx and there have been just over twenty cases reported in the literature to date. The case showed an initial histologic finding of epithelial dysplasia and was finally confirmed to be a carcinoid tumor. Laryngeal carcinoids are often atypical histologically and may be misdiagnosed as undifferentiated carcinoma. An electron microscopic study revealed neurosecretory-type granules. Although the patient underwent a total laryngectomy and radical neck dissection, multiple hepatic metastasis was noted postoperatively.
本文报告并讨论了一例54岁韩国女性喉类癌病例。该肿瘤在喉部极为罕见，迄今为止文献报道的病例仅有二十余例。该病例最初的组织学表现为上皮发育异常，最终确诊为类癌肿瘤。喉类癌在组织学上常不典型，可能被误诊为未分化癌。电子显微镜研究显示有神经分泌型颗粒。尽管患者接受了全喉切除术和根治性颈清扫术，但术后仍发现多处肝转移。
