Abstract
In this case presentation, the authors discuss the prevalence, diagnosis and surgical treatment of the exceedingly rare primary laryngeal melanoma. The importance of immunohistochemical investigations is emphasised since the condition tends to mimic laryngeal carcinomas. Laryngeal melanomas have a very poor prognosis; their five-year survival is less than 10% in international literature. However, the patient presented in this article is still asymptomatic and has no metastases 7 years after the removal of the lesion with transoral laser microsurgery.
