Reconstructive laryngectomy.

Abstract

Reconstructive laryngectomy, the aim of which is to leave the patient without a tracheostoma, thus preserving the normal pneumophonic function relative to vocal articulation, is a link between the various techniques suggested for conservative laryngeal surgery and classic total laryngectomy. The aim of this technique is to restore continuity to the airways, so that the patient is able to breathe naturally and subsequently can speak without having to resort to the use of esophageal voice.

Osteosarcoma of the larynx.

Malignant mesenchymal tumors of the larynx constitute 0.3% to 1% of all laryngeal cancers, and of these osteosarcoma is the rarest. Our review of the literature identified only 12 cases of osteosarcoma of the larynx, all of which occurred in men. Rarely, osteosarcoma of the larynx may follow radiation therapy for squamous cell carcinoma, or the larynx may be the site of metastatic osteosarcoma. We report a case of primary laryngeal osteosarcoma arising in the cricoid cartilage and the first case of osteosarcoma of the larynx occurring in a woman.
