Primary laryngeal melanomas (LM) are rare. In a review of all mucosal melanomas of the head and neck (MMHN) at Memorial Hospital from 1949 to 1983 we identified only three such cases. Review of the literature shows that LM usually involve the supraglottic larynx of elderly males. Although survival is as poor as for other MMHN, local recurrence is less frequent, even when primary therapy consists of more conservative surgical procedures than total laryngectomy.
原发性喉黑色素瘤（LM）很罕见。在对纪念医院1949年至1983年间所有头颈部黏膜黑色素瘤（MMHN）进行回顾时，我们仅发现了3例此类病例。文献回顾显示，LM通常累及老年男性的声门上区喉部。尽管其生存率与其他MMHN一样低，但局部复发的频率较低，即使初始治疗采用比全喉切除术更保守的手术方式。
