Squamous carcinoma of the epiglottis with sebaceous differentiation. Report of a case.
A case of squamous cell carcinoma with sebaceous metaplasia arising in the epiglottis is reported. Extracutaneous neoplasms that show sebaceous differentiation have been mainly described in the major salivary glands. To date only one case of prominent sebaceous differentiation in a carcinoma arising in the vallecula has been reported. In the present paper we describe a similar case arising in the larynx.
