A Case of Spindle Cell Carcinoma of Larynx / 대한이비인후과학회지

ABSTRACT

Spindle cell carcinoma is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma characterized histologically by a biphasic pattern with both squamous and spindle cell component. There is controversy in the histogenesis, biologic behavior, optimal treatment and prognostic factor for tumor. Treatment must be similar for squamous cell carcinoma. With a review of literature, we report a case of a 61-year-old male with spindle cell carcinoma in the larynx, which has been managed by wide excision of tumor and postoperative radiotherapy.
