Abstract

Abstract Laryngeal cancers are one of the most common head and neck malignancies and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Although they most commonly originate from squamous cell carcinoma, there are multiple different pathologies that can arise. We present a patient with an atypical presentation of a glottic mass for which final pathology revealed a leiomyosarcoma (LMS). We report the first case in the English literature of a large bulky LMS that was removed entirely through a partial vertical laryngectomy and pharyngectomy, with maintained swallow and speech function postoperatively.
