Abstract
Leiomyosarcomas (LMSs) are malignant tumors of smooth muscles accounting for 5-6% of all soft tissue sarcomas. They are mostly seen in the gastrointestinal tractus, the uterus, and the retroperitoneum. Soft tissue sarcomas comprise <1% of all laryngeal malignancies, most of which are chondrosarcomas. Laryngeal LMSs are rarely seen malignancies, which are published as case reports. We presented a case of laryngeal LMS, which was seen 4Â years later in a laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma patient who underwent laryngeal laser microsurgery. We discussed the diagnosis and treatment algorithm in the light of the present literature.
