title: Adenocarcinoma of the larynx.
abstract: Adenocarcinomas make up less than one per cent of laryngeal malignancies. Nonspecific adenocarcinomas and adenoid cystic carcinomas comprise most of the glandular neoplasms. Adenoid cystic carcinoma has a slight preponderance in females, and often follows a long course similar to this tumor when it occurs in salivary glands. The nonspecific adenocarcinomas occur predominately in males and have a low survival with most patients dying within two years. Less common adenocarcinomas include oncocytoid carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and metastatic adenocarcinoma.
