Abstract |
Sarcomatoid carcinomas of the larynx account for less than 1% of all malignant laryngeal tumors and there is currently no consensus regarding the clinical course or appropriate management of this disease. A case of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the larynx displaying rapid systemic progression after radiotherapy and a brief review of the literature are presented.
