Abstract:
Fibrous histiocytoma has a variable, unpredictable behaviour and potential for malignancy. The treatment of choice is wide local excision, which, in the larynx, entails total laryngectomy. A case of fibrous histiocytoma of the larynx, treated successfully by radiotherapy, is presented. A recurrence was treated with cryosurgery and the patient is well at 10-year follow-up. The pathological characteristics of fibrous histiocytoma and the difficulties of classification are reviewed.
