Microfil angiography: a demonstration of the microvasculature of the larynx with reference to tumor spread.
The microvasculature of both the human and monkey larynx is described. The recognized patterns of growth and spread of laryngeal carcinoma are discussed in relation to the microvasculature. The direction of enlargement of these tumors may be influenced by the lines of least resistance created in the tissues by the microvasculature.
