Most common laryngeal cancer is squamous cell carcinoma, but various kinds of non-squamous cell tumor also occurs in the larynx. It is quite different from epidermoid carcinoma in the aspect of invasive behavior, metastatic route and treatment modality. Its proper diagnosis is somewhat difficult due to its rarity. This paper presents clinical feature of eight non-squamous cell tumor of the larynx experienced during the past 15 years.

There are follow-up data according to thirteen patients recieved the surgical resection for metastatic lung cancer arising from different primary tumor. The patients were received the surgical resection at Korean Cancer Center Hospital from July 1987 to Setember 1991 and followed-up to August 1992. There were 9 men and 4 women, ranging in age from 16 to 70 years[mean age, 42.8 years]. The primary tumors were 2 synovial sarcoma, 2 sarcoma, 2 osteosarcoma, 3 laryngeal ca, 1 melanoma, 1 ovarian ca and 1 bladder ca. The operative procedures were 5 wedge resections, 1 segmental resection, 5 lobectomies, 1 bil-obectomy and 1 pneumonectomy. There was no operative and hospital death. There were 3 deaths[each survival period: 2, 9 and 20 months, average 10.3 months]and 5 tumor recurrence during follow-up. At now, the average survival period of aliving patients is 29.1 months.

Rhabdomyosarcoma is an uncommon type of soft tissue malignant neoplasm characterized by undifferentiated mesodermal tissue. Sarcomas account for approximately 1% of all laryngeal neoplasm and rhabdomyosarcomas are the rarest sarcoma found in the larynx. When the sarcoma involves the larynx, radical surgery such as laryngectomy has been considered. With recent advances of combined therapy, however, it can be treated by conservative surgeries followed by postoperative radiotherapy and/or pulse chemotherapy. With reviews of literature, we report a 47-year-old patient complaining of husky voice and throat discomfort who was finally diagnosed as rhabdomyosarcoma of the vocal fold and successfully treated by laser cordectomy followed by adjuvant chemoradiotherapy.

Bronchoplastic procedure has been considered as an appropriate surgery for traumatic bronchial disruption and occasionaly for primary bronchial tumors or tuberculosis because it can bring preservation of pulmonary tissue for patients without compromising the chance for cure. Nowadays bronchoplastic procedure is also applicable for the selected cases of bronchogenic carcinomas with favorable long term survival, when compared to standard pneumonectomy.Eighteen bronchoplastic procedures were performed with or without pulmonary resection at Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Catholic University Medical College, between 1990 and 1994. The patients were 11 men and 7 wemen with average age of 57 years [range, 19 to 71 years . Tumor comprised 56% of the lesions, including 6 squamous cell carcinoma [33% , 2 bronchial adenoma [11% , 1 leiomyoma and 1 metastatic osteogenic sarcoma. Cicatrical stenosis secondary to endobronchial tuberculosis and traumatic disruption occurred in 6 [33% and 1 patient respectively.Applied bronchoplastic procedures were as follows ; sleeve lobectomy, 8 cases [right upper : 6, left upper : 1, right middle : 1 : bronchial segmental resection without pulmonary resection, 2 cases : sleeve bi-lobectomy, 1 cases :patch dilating bronchoplasty with or without concomitant lobectomy in 7. There was no perioperative mortality. Morbidity in 4 patients included 1 transient recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, 1 unstability of bronchial patch resulting atelectasis of afftected lung and 2 bronchial stenosis of anastomotic site.Throughout our experiences, we feel strongly that bronchoplastic procedure is a safe and effective surgical method preserving normal pulmonary tissue below affected bronchus for the wide range of various bronchial lesion including selected cases of bronchogenic carcinoma with acceptable complication and mortality.

Liposarcoma is the second most common sarcoma of the adult life, next to malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Liposarcoma in larynx and hypopharynx is extremely rare. The symptoms are variable, but it has a clinical importance because they can cause unpredictable airway obstruction, particularly during the induction of general anesthesia. A 79-year-old male patient was referred to our department for mild airway obstruction and throat discomfort. Neck CT scan showed a mass within both postcricoid area and pyriform sinus. The mass was removed via laryngeal microsurgery. In this article, we report a case of liposarcoma of the posterior wall of hypopharynx with a review of the related literature.
