[Primary microcytoma of the larynx. Case report, ultrastructural study and review of the literature].
Oat cell carcinoma of the larynx is a rare tumor. A throughout search of the literature revealed only 80 cases; the first case in literature was reported by Olofsson in 1972. The tumor often presents in the sixth and seventh decades of life and appears to be highly aggressive and metastases develop early. We have had the opportunity to study ultrastructurally a small cell carcinoma of oat cell type arising in the larynx.
