title: [Adenocarcinoma of the larynx as a recurrence of an irradiated squamous cell carcinoma].
abstract: In a 55-year old male patient who underwent radiotherapy because of a low-differentiated carcinoma of the squamous epithelium, a highly differentiated adenocarcinoma developed at the same site two years after a successful treatment of the original tumour. This extraordinary case forms the basis for a brief discussion of the histogenesis of adenocarcinoma of the larynx, followed by a discussion of the significance of radiotherapy in cases of malignant tumours of the larynx.
