RESUMO
Laryngeal leiomyosarcoma is a highly infrequent malignancy, with less than fifty reports in the scientific literature world-wide. Diagnosis is based on immunohistochemistry and, occasionally, on electron microscopy techniques, making it difficult to be done preoperatively. We report a new case of laryngeal leiomyosarcoma, with an up-to-date review of the differential diagnosis and the treatment strategy.

El leiomiosarcoma laríngeo es un tumor extraordinariamente infrecuente, con menos de 50 casos descritos en la literatura mundial. Su diagnóstico implica la necesidad de técnicas de inmunohistoquímica y ocasionalmente de microscopia elestrónica, que se practica casi siempre postoperatoriamente. Presentamos un nuevo caso de leiomiosarcoma laríngeo, haciendo una revisión actualizada de su diagnóstico diferencial y de la estrategia terapéutica
