Abstract
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the larynx is a very rare neoplasm. This article reports the case of a subglottic malignant fibrous histio cytoma in a 38-year-old male treated by wide excision and radiotherapy . A literature search reveals this to be the 22nd case reported. Clini copathologic features are discussed. The treatment of choice is wide s urgical excision with consideration of adjunctive chemotherapy. Radiat ion therapy is probably of little benefit.
