Aggressive laryngeal fibromatosis: A case report and brief review

Summary

We describe a rare case of aggressive fibromatosis of the larynx occurring in a 72-year-old man. Although several laryngoscopy-driven biopsies were negative for malignancy, total laryngectomy was done since the lesion was not deemed amenable to conservative therapy. No further therapy was administered. Based on the available literature, our data confirm that aggressive laryngeal fibromatosis in adult patients is a locally infiltrating disease. Total laryngectomy with clear margins is needed as to avoid the high risk of local recurrence.
