title: Leiomyosarcoma of the larynx. Case report.
abstract: Leiomyosarcoma involving the larynx is extremely rare and may be difficult to diagnose. Likewise, because of the rarity of this lesion, little information exists with regard to long-term follow-up or optimal management. Reported here is a review of the literature and a case report of a patient with leiomyosarcoma of the larynx treated by surgery alone with 5 years of follow-up.
