In certain instances, patients who underwent endoscopic laser excision (ELE) for biopsy-proven early glottic carcinoma do not show any evidence of carcinomatous cells on histopathologic analysis. Our study aims to determine the incidence of this phenomenon. A retrospective analysis of patients with biopsy-proven early glottic squamous cell carcinoma who underwent ELE was conducted. 121 patients with a mean age of 68.2 ± 10.7 were included in this study. Initial biopsy showed carcinoma in situ in 38 patients, (31.4%), T1a in 41 patients (33.9%), and T1b in 42 patients (34.7%). Following ELE, a pathologically negative excision was seen in 26 patients (21.5%). Disease recurrence occurred in 3 patients who had a pathologically negative excision (11.5%). Following repeat ELE, all patients remained disease free. A significant number of early glottic carcinoma present with small volume disease which may be eradicated with diagnostic biopsy alone.
