ABSTRACT |
Rhabdomyosarcomas are relatively rare and highly malignant tumors which originated from mesenchymal cells. A 50-year-old man, suffered from hoarseness for 2 months, visited to the Dept. of ENT, Seoul Red Cross Hospital. By indirect laryngoscopic examination, a sessile based whitish polypoid mass (0.5×0.3cm) was noted at the one third portion of right true vocal cord. Under general anesthesia, local excision was performed. Biopsy revealed rhabdomyosarcoma of the embryonal type. To our knowledge, only 24 cases of laryngeal rhabdomyosarcoma have been reported in the world literature.
