Abstract

Small cell carcinoma of larynx has been reported as a rare disease occurring in 0.5% of larynx cancer. This tumor is known as one of the most lethal of all malignancies and associated with early recurrence and distant metastasis, leading into death. We experienced a case of a 70-year old male patient, who had admitted for sore throat and dysphagia and diagnosed as small cell carcinoma of larynx. We present small cell carcinoma of larynx with a brief review of literature.
