title: Carcinoid tumour of the larynx (a case report and review of the literature).
abstract: Carcinoid tumours of the larynx are extremely rare, only 13 cases having previously been reported in the world literature. A case is reported here with the unusual complication of skin metastases. The true diagnosis is seldom made on the original biopsy, which is commonly reported as poorly differentiated carcinoma. A review of the literature is made with a discussion of the histological diagnosis and treatment modalities.
