title: [Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the larynx. Presentation of a clinical case and review of the literature].
abstract: Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma (MFH) is a tumor of mesenchymal origin which rarely occurs in head and neck. At the laryngeal level this neoplasm manifests itself as a sessile or peduncolate mass with ulcerations. Histological diagnosis of small biopsy samples is difficult and is, therefore, performed on the full surgical piece. The treatment of choice is complete exeresis of the mass within a safety margins. The Authors present a case report, the 37th laryngeal MFH reported in the literature and, in particular, the 5th case presented in a supraglottic site. Surgical treatment performed in this patient was exeresis of the neoplasm through pharyngothyrotomy conduced with safety margins and reconstruction by thyrohyoidpexy.
