OBJECTIVE: The @entity2785 of larynx and hypopharynx are of rare incidence but may originate from various histological tissues. These effect in the difficulty of final diagnosis and often delay the proper treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: There was performed retrospective analysis of @entity1 with histopathologicaly confirmed @entity2785 of larynx or hypopharynx between 2001 and 2013, that included the evaluation of epidemiology, diagnostic methods and treatment. RESULTS: @entity2785 of larynx and hypopharynx were established in 18 @entity1 (9 @entity1 , 9 @entity1 ), mean age - 60,3 years. The @entity5 were diagnosed in 10 @entity1 and benign - in 8. The soft tissue @entity5 were the most common - 8 @entity1 . There were also 4 @entity706 , 4 @entity511 , 1 @entity1823 and 1 @entity320 . @entity5 manifested clinically as covered by unchanged mucosa. Characteristic features were observed on computed tomography for certain cases of these @entity5 . The results of the @entity5 biopsy were in most of the cases not diagnostic. Intralaryngeal microsurgery was applied in benign @entity5 , chemiotherapy - for @entity706 and @entity320 .

XXXX of the larynx and hypopharynx - 12 - years of experience.
