Abstract





Objective:
 Malignant melanoma of the larynx is an
uncommon tumor type that can be seen as a primary tumor or as a metastasis
from a cutaneous primary lesion.  Morphological appearances of this tumor are
readily confused with the other types of laryngeal cancers.  A new case of primary laryngeal malignant
melanoma has been presented in this case report .


Case:
The patient was a 54-year-old man without any clinical evidence of other
cutaneous malignant melanocytic lesions. Microscopically,
polygonal-epithelioid tumor cells containing cytoplasmic and nuclear melanin
were located under the mucosal squamous epithelial cells. Atypical mitotic
figures were also present. Ulceration and disruption of the epithelium
weren’t observed. Immunohistochemical studies were positive for S100, HMB-45,
Melan-A and vimentin while it was negative for cytokeratin. Based on findings
this diagnosis was established.
