| Popis: | Primary mucosal malignant melanoma (PMML) of the larynx continues to be a rare entity. To date, there are few cases reported in the world literature consisting of mainly isolated case reports and literature reviews.Traditionally believed to be radioresistant, we present a case of PMML of the right vocal fold managed with right cordectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy. The patient is well without any evidence of local recurrence or metastasis three years and four months from presentation. |
