Abstract

Carcinoid tumour of the larynx is extremely rare. The increasing number of these lesions reported is due to the application of ultrastructural and immunological methods in the diagnosis. Two new cases of this malignant neoplasm are presented and discussed with particular reference to the difficulty in distinguishing carcinoids from other tumours of the larynx. The accurate pathological identification of the tumour is essential for treatment and prognosis.
