Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common histopathological type of malignant tumors in the larynx. However, condylomatous carcinoma is an unusual variant of squamous cell carcinoma, and the concept of condylomatous squamous cell carcinoma is rarely encountered in the larynx. In this article, a 70-year-old patient with condylomatous carcinoma of the larynx is presented. Characteristics of this tumor are emphasized etiologically, clinically, and histopathologically. Additionally, treatment options of this disease are discussed in light of the literature.
