Abstract:
Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare tumour consisting of both sarcomatous and carcinomatous elements. It accounts for less than 1% of laryngeal malignancies. This case report describes sarcomatoid carcinoma of the larynx in a 54-year-old male managed by total laryngectomy with post operative radiotherapy. Surgery is the treatment modality of choice for this rare entity. However, early stage sarcomatoid carcinoma tumours are better treated with radiotherapy alone similar to early stage squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx with favourable results.
