Clinical and pathologic features of squamous cell carcinoma in 33 young adults (19 to 34 years) are presented. The most important difference between these patients and older subjects with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx is the female preponderance in the young. Sixty percent were smokers but no other predisposing factors were uncovered. Histologic grade of malignancy had no impact on prognosis but, as it is with any head and neck site, the most important prognostic predictor is clinical stage.
本文呈现了33名年轻成年人（19至34岁）鳞状细胞癌的临床和病理特征。这些患者与老年喉鳞状细胞癌患者最重要的区别在于年轻患者中女性占多数。60%的患者吸烟，但未发现其他诱发因素。恶性肿瘤的组织学分级对预后没有影响，但与任何头颈部位一样，最重要的预后预测指标是临床分期。
