title: Laryngeal alveolar soft part sarcoma: A case report of a rare malignancy in an atypical location.
abstract: Laryngeal sarcoma is a rare and potentially aggressive malignancy. In this case report, we present a 23year-old-male with four-years of progressive hoarseness who was found to have a large left paraglottic mass. A partial laryngectomy was successful at completely excising the lesion. Final pathology returned as alveolar soft part sarcoma. Alveolar soft part sarcomas of the larynx are extremely rare with only five cases published in the current literature. This article provides a case presentation with literature review of alveolar soft part sarcoma of the head and neck.
