Abstract
Objective:
To study the biological behaviour and treatment of larynx hemangioendothelioma.
Method:
One case of larynx hemangioendothelioma was reported and the relative literatures were reviewed.
Result:
The common symptoms of the disease include hoarseness and larynx obstruction caused by the enlargement of the tumor. The biological behaviour of the larynx hemangioendothelioma is low-grade malignant and recurred, between the benign hemangiomas and malignant angiosarcomas.
Conclusion:
The treatment of the hemangioendotheliomas is enlarged removal of the tumor by Majer-Piquet' operation. Chemotherapy and radiation are not valuable.
