One hundred and eighty patients presented with cancer of the larynx and hypopharynx form the basis of this report. Positive margins were found in 12.2% [22/180] of all cases, 12.5% [8/64] of supraglottic tumors, 16% [4/26] of tronsglottic tumors, 5.3% [2/38] of glottic tumors, 11.1% [2/18] of pyriform fossa tumor, 50% [3/6] of posterior pharyngeal wall tumors, and 10.6% [3/29] of postcricoid tumors. The relationship between the inadequate surgical margins of the specimens, tumor spread, the preoperative computerized tomography [CT] findings, and the surgical procedure performed have been correlated
