Liposarcomas of the larynx are extremely rare tumors, with only 37 cases reported in the English or French literature to date. The first two cases of laryngeal liposarcomas were reported respectively by Kapur and Dockerty in 1968 [1, 2]. Liposarcoma of the larynx is at high risk of local recurrence and seldom has metastatic potential. Prognosis for this tumor is better than that of non laryngea...

OBJECTIVES Neurogenic tumors of the larynx are extremely rare. The goal of this report is to advert to this rare disease, to review and discuss diagnostics, differential diagnoses and treatment options. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case report and review of the literature. METHODS Case report of a schwannoma of the supraglottic larynx and review of the English- and German-language literature ...

The Larynx, trachea and the main bronchi together form the extrapulmonary lower airways. After air has been warmed and moistened in the upper airways (nose and pharynx), it passes through the larynx – the guardian of the airways. the larynx separates the trachea from the esophagus and is the organ from which voice is produced. The air then passes the tube-shaped trachea, which bifurcates into t...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an evolving noninvasive imaging modality that has been used to image the human larynx during surgical endoscopy. The design of a long gradient index (GRIN) lens-based probe capable of capturing images of the human larynx by use of swept-source OCT during a typical office-based laryngoscopy examination is presented. In vivo OCT imaging of the human larynx is...

OBJECTIVE To review the pathophysiology of early and late radiation-related tissue changes, methods to differentiate these changes from disease recurrence, and treatment of these changes in the irradiated larynx. DATA SOURCES Peer-reviewed publications. REVIEW METHODS PubMed database search. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Early and late radiation-related changes in the larynx manif...
