Abstract

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare form of laryngeal cancer which corresponds only 2-3% of all laryngeal cancers. This type of laryngeal cancer is presented mostly with hoarseness and dyspnea. On the endoscopic view, it can be detected with polypoid mass on the vocal cord and mixed with benign laryngeal polyps. But the behaviour and presentation of the cancer can be differed from other benign and malign tumors and may be very aggressive. The most effective treatment modality is not defined definitely. We represent a sarcomatoid cancer, presented with highly aggressive character, managed with total laryngectomy.
