title: [Verrucous carcinoma of the larynx].
abstract: In spite of a small percentage of laryngeal cancer, verrucous carcinoma of the larynx is an important diagnostic and therapeutic issue, due to its specific biological behavior and reaction to different therapeutic procedures. Verrucous carcinoma is free of histologic characteristics of malignancy, the lymph node and visceral metastasis. In our series of laryngeal cancer, we had 2.47% of verrucous carcinoma. The glottis was involved in all cases, and the treatment was surgical. Histologic characteristics of the tumour are discussed, and our clinical material analysed. The importance of a precise diagnosis for the correct selection of the therapeutic approach, is stressed.
