Abstract

Neuroendocrine neoplasms of larynx are a rare group of tumors that include typical carcinoid, atypical carcinoid, small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and paraganglioma. Among them, typical carcinoid is the least common type and the treatment and prognosis is different from the other tumors. We report a case of recurrent typical carcioid of supraglottis with interval of 5 years, which were excised locally at each time. As far as we know, this is the 15th case of a typical carcinoid of larynx.
