title: [Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the larynx--review of literature and report of 2 own cases].
abstract: A review of the international medical literature was conducted regarding the laryngeal neuroendocrine tumors. This paper discusses the diagnosis, histopathology, treatment, and prognosis in laryngeal neuroendocrine tumors. It also discusses the heterogenous classification schema of such tumors. Two cases of a very rare neuroendocrine cancer of larynx are described. Both were localized in the supraglottic area and occurred in the 5th and 6th decades of life, consistent with previously reported cases of such neoplasms.
