Spindle cell carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm in the larynx. We report a case of spindle cell carcinoma arising in the larynx. <BR>We recently treated a 73-year-old man with spindle cell carcinoma of the larynx who complained of dyspnea for rapid growth tumor in May 2009. We observed the tumor with a white moss on the bilateral vocal cords by laryngeal fiberscope. There was no lymphadenopathy palpable in the cervical region. A biopsy showed spindle cell carcinoma and it was a plan of the radiation therapy, but because the increased rapidly in June of the year and accepted dyspnea, I performed a tracheotomy in the general anesthesia bottom and performed total laryngectomy and neck dissencion. Although the patient had been observed without any recurrences or distant metastases for 29 months postopertively, he unfortunately died by unexpected accident.
