Subglottic Basal Cell Adenocarcinoma.
OBJECTIVE
To discuss the presentation and management of a rare neoplasm in a previously unreported laryngeal subsite.


METHODS
Case report and literature review.


RESULTS
An 89-year-old woman presented with a subglottic mass, biopsy of which was consistent with basal cell adenocarcinoma. She was successfully treated with surgical intervention and remains disease free 29 months postoperatively.


CONCLUSIONS
Basal cell adenocarcinoma is a rare salivary gland tumor, the laryngeal variant of which is even scarcer. Herein we describe the presentation and successful surgical management of the first reported case of subglottic basal cell adenocarcinoma. We additionally provide a histologic review followed by approaches to treatment.
