title: T1N0 laryngeal sarcomatoid carcinoma that showed rapid systemic metastases after radical radiotherapy: a case report and review of literature.

A case of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the larynx displaying rapid systemic progression after radiotherapy and a brief review of the literature are presented.
