Laryngeal carcinoma is a subset of head and neck pathology.
Normal histology
The normal histology is dependent on the site.[1]
Pathology
Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma
General
- 95% of laryngeal carcinomas.[2]
Risk factors:[2]
Carinoma - subclassification by site
It is generally divided the following way:[3]
| Laryngeal cancer | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Supraglottis | Glottis | Subglottis | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- Prevalence - glottis > supraglottis > subglottis.
- Glottic carcinoma tends to present earlier (as it affects phonation) and, therefore, has a better prognosis.
