| Abstract: | Clear cell carcinoma of the larynx is exceptional. Only six cases are described in the literature. We report a new case occurring in a 58-year-old man. The treatment consisted of a total laryngectomy with lymph node dissection followed by adjuvant irradiation. Local and regional recurrence occurred after 5 months. The patient died from the tumor's evolution 12 months after the diagnosis. The prognosis of clear cell carcinoma of the larynx is similar to the clear cell carcinoma of the lung and is unfavorable. |
