Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the larynx.
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is an uncommon vascular tumor of the soft tissues. Several reports have described this tumor in visceral locations such as liver, lung, and brain. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of an immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study of a primary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma occurring in the larynx. Difficulties concerning the differential diagnosis and clinical problems arising from surgical therapy in the laryngeal area are also discussed.
