Ear Nose Throat J. 2020 Nov 25;:145561320973771 Authors: Quéré J, Leclere JC, Prévot J, Conan V, Marianowski R Abstract Rhabdomyosarcoma of the larynx has been very rarely described in pediatric population. There are 3 histological subtypes: embryonal, pleomorphic, and alveolar. With regard to the English literature, we present the first case of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the larynx ever described in a child. This tumor has been diagnosed on an endoscopic biopsy. Thus, a unilateral arytenoidectomy has been performed. This tumor has a poor prognosis. Lymph node metastases were successfully treated by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Surgery has shifted from radical to conservative combined with adjuvant treatments. PMID: 33236919 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] View on the web Inoreader. Take back control of your news feed.
