Soft tissue sarcomas in the head and neck are rare malignancies. They occur in this area in less than 1% of all malignant tumors. Some authors have described the development of sarcoma from the mesenchymal tissue in the larynx. The histological diagnosis of a sarcoma depends on the immunohistochemical investigation. In particularly difficult diagnoses, electron microscopy has to be used. The treatment recommendation depends on the histological type of sarcoma. We analysed and summarized data on the diagnostic criteria and therapy for sarcoma of the larynx presented in the literature. We present three new cases of laryngeal sarcoma and describe the analyses of the published diagnostic and treatment schedules of laryngeal sarcomas. We developed a treatment protocol recommendation for laryngeal sarcoma based on an analysis of literature data and case reports. This recommendation is based on histological type, staging, grading, size, and survival data.

OBJECTIVE: Oncocytic papillary cystadenomas (OPCs) of the larynx are rare benign cystic lesions that usually present as supraglottic masses arising from the laryngeal ventricles. OPCs are found in patients older than 60 years, with a female predominance. Symptoms vary from asymptomatic to hoarseness, dyspnea, and dysphagia; often, they mimic a laryngocele. The treatment is surgical. Diagnosis is based on histopathologic examination. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Surgical records for laryngeal masses diagnosed between 2005 and 2020 were searched retrospectively. RESULTS: Ten patients were identified and included in the study. OPCs predominantly occurred in women (9/10), and the mean age at presentation was 73 years. Most patients (8/10) presented with hoarseness and were smokers. OPCs were localized in the ventricle in eight out of ten patients. Surgical treatment was performed in all cases, mostly using transoral endolaryngeal approach (9/10). Histopathologic examination revealed oncocytic cyst or oncocytic papillary cystadenoma (the former term being the older synonym for OPC). CONCLUSION: OPCs present a separate clinicopathologic entity, distinct from other cystic laryngeal lesions. They have a characteristic location, age and sex group, microscopic appearance, and potential for local recurrence.
