Abstract

Smooth muscle tumours of the head and neck are rare. An unusual case of laryngeal leiomyosarcoma in a 69-year-old man is presented. Histological diagnosis of this tumour is difficult, and immunohistochemical studies are vital. Treatment is discussed, and should include local control with debulking, radiotherapy and long term follow up.
