[Laryngeal carcinoma with laryngeal abscess].
We had encountered 5 cases of laryngeal carcinoma associated with abscess. Four of them were advanced laryngeal cancer with abscess induced by mechanical injury, and one with post-radiation laryngeal perichondritis & abscess formation. Management included total laryngectomy in 3 patients, partial laryngectomy in 1 patient, and resection of post-radiation abscess in one. Laryngeal abscesses are seen rarely today. Endeavour should be made to decrease such complication. The authors had presented their experience in the management of laryngeal carcinoma associated with laryngeal abscess, together with a review of the history and some of the current ideas about this problem.
