Abstract

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare disease, while larynx sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rarer type of cancer characterized by high malignancy and rapid growth. This type of cancer is prone to misdiagnosis and recurrence. The present case study aimed to provide a detailed report on the diagnosis and treatment of a male patient who underwent three tumor resections in the same location of the vocal cords within a short time. Immunohistochemical analysis was not performed after the first two surgeries at other hospitals, thus resulting in an inconclusive diagnosis. Within a short time, it was suspected that the patient experienced local recurrence, thus rapidly leading to the onset of grade III laryngeal obstruction symptoms. During his last visit to the Second Affiliated Hospital of the Army Military Medical University Outpatient Department (Chongqing, China), a biopsy was carried out and tissue samples were collected for immunohistochemical examination. The diagnosis of larynx sarcomatoid carcinoma was therefore verified. Subsequently, partial laryngectomy combined with laryngeal functional reconstruction and left neck lymph node dissection were performed. Post‑surgery immunohistochemical analysis also verified larynx sarcomatoid carcinoma. During the 6‑month follow‑up, there was no evidence of metastasis or recurrence.
