ABSTRACT
The larynx is a rare site for an adenocarcinoma. This case presents adenocarcinoma of epiglottis, a rare malignant neoplasm of the larynx. A 74-year-old man was presented with throat discomfort that began 4 months ago and neck mass for 1 month ago. The laryngeal telescopic finding revealed centrally ulcerative fungating mass on the laryngeal surface of epiglottis. A biopsy of the neoplasm pathologically characterized the lesion as adenocarcinoma. An adenocarcinoma of the larynx is a highly lethal neoplasm and has worse prognosis than squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx. We treated with the conservative surgery and bilateral neck dissection. There is no evidence of recurrence at 18 months after the initial treatment.
