Tabagism and alcoholism predominated in 8 and 6 patients respectively. Glottis was the localization and dysphony the paramount symptom. In the paper are emphasized the most important histologic features. Koilocytosis was present in 6 cases. Four patients developed a second tumor of epidermoid carcinoma type. No one exitus due to the verrucous growth. Only in 3 the death was attributed to the second malignancy.
