[Hemangioendothelioma of larynx].
OBJECTIVE
To study the biological behaviour and treatment of larynx hemangioendothelioma.


METHODS
One case of larynx hemangioendothelioma was reported and the relative literatures were reviewed.


RESULTS
The common symptoms of the disease include hoarseness and larynx obstruction caused by the enlargement of the tumor. The biological behaviour of the larynx hemangioendothelioma is low-grade malignant and recurred, between the benign hemangiomas and malignant angiosarcomas.


CONCLUSIONS
The treatment of the hemangioendotheliomas is enlarged removal of the tumor by Majer-Piquet' operation. Chemotherapy and radiation are not valuable.
