A Case of Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Larynx.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a common malignant neoplasm of the salivary glands. While quite common in the oral cavity, it is rare in the larynx. A middle-aged male patient presented to the otolaryngology clinic of our institution with the chief complaint of hoarseness. A supraglottic subepithelial mass was detected on the left laryngeal ventricle after a comprehensive clinical examination. Eventually, the diagnosis was established with a biopsy after a direct laryngoscopy. The multidisciplinary team of our institution suggested total laryngectomy without adjuvant modalities. An uneventful procedure followed and the patient remains free of disease and up to date. Mucoepidermoid tumors of the larynx are rare and surgical treatment is strongly indicated as the treatment of choice.
