Neuroendocrine Neoplasms of the Larynx:Advances in Identification,Understanding and Management
Neuroendocrine neoplasms of the larynx are rare,but are the most common non-squamous tumors of this organ. In the past there has been considerable confusion about the nature and classification of these neoplasms, but the current consensus is that there are four different types of laryngeal neuroendocrine tumors comprised of paraganglioma, typical carcinoid, atypical carcinoid tumor and small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.Carcinoids and small cell neuroendocrine carcinomas are epithelial neoplasms, while paragangliomas are of neural origin. Diagnosis is based primarily on light microscopy and confirmed by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy.Precise diagnosis is essential because the natural history, treatment and prognosis vary widely for the different neoplastic categories.
