ABSTRACT
Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant tumor originating from the smooth muscle tissue and is mostly found in the genitourinary and gastrointestinal tract and the peritoneum. A leiomyosarcoma involving the larynx is extremely rare because the smooth muscle is only present in the blood vessel in larynx. There are only few cases of pure laryngeal leiomyosarcoma that have been reported in modern medical literature. Recently, we experienced a 78-year-old male patient with laryngeal leiomyosarcoma. So we report this case with a review of literature.
