No full textThe laryngocele is an abnormal saccular dilatation of the ventricle of Morgagni, which maintains its communication with the laryngeal vestibule. Three types of laryngoceles have been described: internal, external, and combined or mixed in relation to the position of the sac with respect to the thyrohyoid membrane. If the laryngocele becomes obstructed and infected it leads to the so-called laryngopyocele which, although a rare disease (8% of laryngoceles), can become an emergency causing severe airway obstruction needing urgent management, even tracheostomy. An alternative method is presented of emergency management of an internal laryngopyocele causing severe airway obstruction using a laryngeal microdebrider and avoiding tracheostomy

Rhabdomyosarcoma: a rare laryngeal neoplastic entity
No full textA case of pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma of the larynx is presented, which is extremely rare in a laryngeal site. The symptomatology and macroscopic aspect of the neoplasm can simulate the presence of other neoplastic variants of the larynx, and, for this reason, histological examination must be associated with immunohistochemistry for correct diagnosis and treatment
Thyroarytenoid muscle invasion in T1 glottic carcinoma
No full textWe report the prevalence of thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle invasion in 109 consecutive patients with T1 glottic carcinoma submitted to endoscopic laser cordectomy between February 1997 and January 2006, in order to evaluate if routine resection of the TA is necessary. A total of 109 patients staged as T1 underwent endoscopic treatment with carbon dioxide laser (CO(2)), 36 cases were treated with type I or II cordectomies, and 73 patients underwent type III, IV or V cordectomies, with resection of all or part of the TA. Over a total of 109 patients, 6 (5.5%) cases staged as pT1 showed TA invasion. The endoscopic treatment of T1 glottic cancer should be as conservative as possible in terms of TA resection, since muscle invasion is rare. In many cases, type III and IV cordectomies can be regarded as excessive treatment. Muscle invasion found histologically after type II cordectomy can be managed by further excision
