[Neuroendocrine tumor of the larynx. Report of a case].
Neuro-endocrine tumors of the larynx are uncommon. This paper reports a case of well differentiated neuro-endocrine carcinoma of the epiglottis of a 61-year-old man. Three years later, he developed a cervical larynx node and four years later, metastatic nodules on his scalp. The tumor produced calcitonin. Serotonin and metenkephalin were also secreted in skin metastases. Neuro-endocrine tumors of the larynx have a bad prognosis. Wenig proposed a classification adaptable to laryngeal neuroendocrine carcinoma based on histologic features and behavior.
