Carcinoma Cuniculatum of the Larynx

We present a 51-year-old male smoker with CC of the left vocal cord. The tumor was staged T1a and the patient was disease-free 12  months after surgery. To our knowledge, this is the fourth case of CC of the larynx reported in the English literature and the first, due to its early diagnosis, where radical surgery was not performed. We highlight the necessity for awareness of this entity and coordination between otolaryngologi sts, radiologists, and pathologists for early diagnosis and organ-sparing surgical treatment.
