Abstract:
Metastatic malignant melanoma of the larynx is considered to be extremely rare by most authors. This paper describes a 78-year-old patient, previously treated for cutaneous malignant melanoma and intestinal fibrosarcoma, who presented with stridor due to a metastatic melanoma in the larynx. It was a pedunculated lesion and surgical excision of the lesion was accomplished with a tonsillar snare. This paper further discusses the evolving history, diagnosis and treatment of this metastatic tumour, and reviews the literature regarding previously reported cases.
