Abstract
Laryngeal cancer is rare in children and adolescents, and delays in di
agnosis are common because the presenting symptoms are often mistaken
for inflammatory or benign laryngeal disease. Therefore, a high index
of suspicion is necessary to make the diagnosis; however, data on trea
tment options and rehabilitation are limited. This article reviews the
reported literature with recommendations for treatment and rehabilita
tion based on tumor histology.
