Özet
Background: Spindle cell carcinoma (sarcomatoid carcinoma) is a rare carcinoma that accounts for 2-3% of all laryngeal malignancies. Here, we present a case with laryngeal tumor diagnosed as Spindle cell carcinoma. Case Presentation: Fifty-nine-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of hoarseness and shortness of breath that has been increasing for 10 months. Indirect laryngoscopy performed on the patient, and a polypoid lesion was detected in the anterior of the left vocal cord. The patient was admitted to our clinic for direct laryngoscopy and the lesion was completely excised from the base. The case was diagnosed as sarcomatoid carcinoma in histopathological examination. Conclusion: Sarcomatoid carcinoma is usually diagnosed and treated at an early stage. So, it has a good prognosis. However, it has a poor prognosis in the advanced stage.
