Özet
We present the case of a laryngeal osteosarcoma in a 69-year-old man, which generated many diagnostic and treatment difficulties. The patient was admitted to the hospital because of persisting hoarseness and a laryngeal tumor was seen on laryngoscopy. Total laryngectomy was performed and the pathological examination of the resected material showed osteosarcoma of the larynx. Postoperative radiotherapy was planned but the patient declined any treatment. He was readmitted to the hospital 5 months later with a neck tumor and enlarged lymph nodes on the right side of the neck. Chemotherapy started and during treatment metastatic lymph nodes on the left side of the neck and pulmonary metastases were detected. © 2008 Zerbinis Medical Publications.
