Abstract
- Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare type of head and neck cancer that presents both epithelial squamous cell carcinoma and sarcomatous features. There is much debate on pathogenesis, clinical behavior, therapeutic options and prognostic factors for this tumor. Treatment is similar for squamous cell carcinoma with respect to the state, location and size of the tumor. We report a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma on larynx, which was treated by surgical excision and postoperative radiotherapy. The relevant literature is briefly reviewed.
