[Undifferentiated oat-cell tumor of the larynx. Case report].
The oat-cells tumor is a neuroendocrine growth belonging to the APUD system, sitting regularly in the lung and very rarely in the larynx. Biologically its behaviour is extremely aggressive and must be managed as a systemic disease. The up-to-date treatment is the radiotherapy associated with chemotherapy. The paper deals with one of these tumors of laryngeal site and a review of the bibliography is done.
