Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Although non-squamous tumors of the larynx are really rare, they may not always be viewed from the same perspective in the multidisciplinary treatment approach once the diagnosis is made. In this review, non-squamous tumors of the larynx and current approaches in treatment will be discussed. RECENT FINDINGS When the studies and meta-analyses presented in the last 5 years are evaluated, it is seen that these tumors usually show non-specific symptoms. Due to their submucosal location, the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis is often advanced. In the literature, treatment may vary in these particular cases. The majority of non-squamous tumors of the larynx includes minor salivary gland tumors, neuroendocrine carcinomas, sarcomas, cartilage tumors, and malignant melanomas. Once treating a patient with these diagnoses, it should be kept in mind that the histopathological subtype is almost as important as the stage of the tumor.

Abstract
Liposarcomas of the larynx is an extremely rare entity, and less than 50 cases have been published in English language literature. It is a malignant mesenchymal tumour arising from adipose tissue with a very high propensity for local recurrence. Well-differentiated liposarcomas are the most common variety but are challenging to diagnose because of their resemblance with benign tumors like lipoma and other malignant soft tissue sarcomas like myxoid chondrosarcoma. Therefore, immunohistochemistry (IHC) should be considered for confirmation. Wide local excision is the treatment of choice, and post-operative radiotherapy can be considered in cases of positive resection margins not amenable for revision surgery, high tumour grade, and myxoid variant. We are reporting a case of well-differentiated liposarcoma of the left aryepiglottic fold (AEF) in a 66-year-old man who was diagnosed to have a benign lipomatous lesion in the same location 3 years back. Based on the reports of the published cases, we are presenting a management algorithm for this entity.

Abstract
Liposarcomas are rare mesenchymal tissue tumors and are divided into subtypes based on their histopathological characteristics. They are mostly well-differentiated neoplasms with the tendency to recur locally. Lymph node involvement or distant metastases have been reported as extremely rare. Common manifestations are progressive dyspnea, dysphagia, choking, and stridor. Surgical excision of laryngeal liposarcomas is considered the gold standard treatment modality for disease eradication. In persistent or recurrent cases, a total laryngectomy should be performed. There is much controversy regarding the role of radiotherapy which is mostly used as adjuvant treatment in specific cases. We present a case of dedifferentiated laryngeal liposarcoma with multiple recurrences and metachronous transformation to a neoplasm with myxofibrosarcomatous elements.

Abstract
Primary sarcomas of the larynx are rare and are associated with diagnostic and treatment challenges. Studies of these tumors are limited, and most examples have been reported as small series. To further increase our understanding of laryngeal sarcomas, we reviewed our experience of an adult cohort. A retrospective search for laryngeal sarcomas from our pathology archives and consultation files of one of the authors was performed. We studied 27 primary laryngeal sarcomas that included 25 males, and 2 females, with a mean age of 60 years (range 33-85). The cases included conventional chondrosarcoma (16), well-differentiated liposarcoma (2), clear cell chondrosarcoma (1), leiomyosarcoma (2), high grade myxofibrosarcoma (2), high grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (1), low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (1), malignant granular cell tumor (1), and Kaposi sarcoma (1). Data on treatment and follow-up was available in 17 and 16 cases, respectively. 12 patients underwent partial laryngeal resection; five had total laryngectomy, and the patient with Kaposi sarcoma received combined highly active antiretroviral therapy and chemotherapy. Three patients developed local recurrence, and two patients developed metastases. The remaining patients with follow up had a favorable outcome and were disease-free after treatment. The important differential diagnosis of spindle cell sarcoma is sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma, and their distinction often requires extensive sampling of the mucosal surface and immunohistochemical analysis. The mainstay of treatment for laryngeal sarcomas is surgical removal, with the extent dictated by tumor type and grade. Adjuvant therapy is reserved for high-grade sarcomas and may be given in a neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting.

Abstract
Nonepithelial tumors of the larynx are rare and represent a minority of all laryngeal neoplasms. Imaging has an important role in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and surveillance of these entities. However, unfamiliarity with these neoplasms can cause diagnostic difficulties for radiologists, especially because many of the imaging findings are nonspecific. By using a systematic approach based on clinical history, patient age and gender, lesion location, endoscopic results, and specific imaging findings, the differential diagnosis can often be narrowed. These tumors typically affect the submucosal layer, so if a tumor has an intact mucosa at endoscopy, a nonepithelial neoplasm is the most likely diagnosis. Nonepithelial tumors of the larynx can arise from the laryngeal cartilage or muscle or from the surrounding lymphoid tissue or blood vessels. Consequently, imaging findings typically correspond to the specific cell type from which it originated. Recognizing specific features (eg, metaplastic bone formation, macroscopic fat, or enhancement pattern) can often help narrow the differential diagnosis. In addition, identification of noncircumscribed borders of the lesion and invasion of the adjacent structures is key to diagnosis of a malignant process rather than a benign neoplasm. Understanding the pathologic correlation is fundamental to understanding the radiologic manifestations and is ultimately crucial for differentiation of nonepithelial laryngeal neoplasms.

Abstract
Well-differentiated (WDL) and dedifferentiated liposarcomas (DL) of the pharynx, larynx and oral cavity are rare, often mimicking benign lipomatous neoplasms or non-lipogenic mesenchymal tumors. Cases of WDL/DL arising in the upper aerodigestive tract, exclusive of the cervical esophagus, were reviewed. Morphologic features, ancillary studies, including fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies for CPM/MDM2, and clinical data was catalogued. Eight WDL/DL (4 WDL, 4 DL); were identified in patients ranging from 32 to 77 years (median 52.5 years; 6 males, 2 females) with sites of origin including hypopharynx (5 cases), larynx (2 cases) and oral cavity (1 case). Six of the 8 cases were received for expert consultation, and the remaining 2 cases were initially misdiagnosed as benign lymphangiomatous or fibroepithelial polyps. Morphologically, 4 tumors had areas mimicking various non-lipomatous soft tissue tumors including nodular fasciitis, mammary-type myofibroblastoma, low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, 2 cases simulated benign hypopharyngeal polyps, and 1 lesion was notable for a dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate suggestive of hematolymphoid neoplasm or IgG4-related sclerosing disease. FISH showed amplification of CPM/MDM2 (8/8 cases). All cases (4/4) with longer than 1-year of follow-up recurred (45-118 months) with 1 tumor showing progression to DL. WDL/DL presenting in the upper aerodigestive tract are rare and diagnostically challenging. Awareness of the morphologic spectrum of WDL/DL coupled with appropriate use of MDM2 FISH is essential for accurate classification and management, as these tumors appear to have a high risk for local recurrence and eventual dedifferentiation in these anatomical locations.

Abstract
Laryngeal biopsies, contrary to biopsies from many other sites of the body, very often contain minute amounts of tumour tissue that may consist of morphologically undifferentiated tumour only. In haematoxylin- and eosin-stained sections, there may be no indicative features of what specific tumour entity that is present. In the larynx, particularly small round cell neoplasms, primary or metastatic, often cause a diagnostic dilemma and where an incorrect diagnosis can induce substantial clinical consequences for the patient (e.g., primary neuroendocrine carcinomas vs metastatic variants, certain sarcomas). If sufficient/representative material has been obtained, the application of immunohistochemistry and/or molecular techniques should in virtually every case reveal the true nature of the malignancy. In cases with sparse amount of material, and therefore a limited number of sections to be cut, a careful and thoughtful stepwise approach is necessary to ascertain a reliable diagnosis, or at least guide the clinician to the most likely diagnoses. With today's advanced and widely available technology with an abundance of markers to discriminate different tumours, the use of the term "undifferentiated" should be largely unnecessary. In the exceptional, and indeed exceedingly rare cases, when a classification is not possible, even after repeat biopsy, we suggest that the laryngeal neoplasm is better termed "unclassified malignant neoplasm" rather than "undifferentiated malignant neoplasm".

Abstract
Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS) has a relatively poor prognosis, however this neoplasm rarely occurs in the head and neck. To date, no definite protocol has been established for the diagnosis and treatment of head and neck DDLS. The present study reports the case of a 69-year-old male patient with DDLS of the oral floor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of oral floor DDLS. In addition, this is the first reported case with the development of a second primary malignancy following the treatment of head and neck DDLS. A literature review of 50 cases of head and neck DDLS revealed that preoperative biopsy is not reliable for the diagnosis of these tumors and an accurate pathological diagnosis with total resection is preferred.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Two cases of laryngeal lipomatous tumors are presented. Their diagnoses and management are discussed and contrasted. METHODS Case report and literature review. RESULTS Patient 1 is a 58 year old male presenting with five years of progressive shortness of breath, dysphagia, and globus sensation. Clinical exam and imaging study showed a 3.5 cm hypodense laryngeal mass, and he underwent transoral robotic-assisted surgery for complete excision. Final pathology revealed a well-differentiated liposarcoma. Patient 2 is a 79 year old female presenting with one year of non-progressive hoarseness and globus sensation. Clinical examination and imaging study revealed a 1.8 cm hypodense laryngeal mass. Transoral endoscopic complete excision of the submucosal mass was performed. Final pathology revealed benign spindle-cell lipoma. CONCLUSION Liposarcoma and lipoma may present with similar symptomatology, clinical, and imaging findings. Pathology evaluation is of utmost importance for definitive diagnosis. Therefore, diagnosis and treatment of laryngeal lipomatous lesions are best accomplished with complete excision of the mass.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Although laryngeal malignancies of mesenchymal origin (laryngeal sarcomas, LS) are extremely rare (1% of all laryngeal malignancies), the histological manifestations are very diverse. LS sign as a solid tumor covered with an intact mucosa. THE AIM OF THE STUDY was to evaluate retrospective data referring: epidemiology, clinical manifestations, treatment and early follow-up; based on medical record made in ORL, HNS Surgery Dpt of Holy Cross Cancer Centre in Kielce during 9-years period 2001-2009. MATERIAL AND METHODS The retrospective analysis of the group of 12 patients with LS was made. Studied characteristics were: age, sex, primary focus, histological outcome, treatment options and early follow-up. RESULTS Age of the group of 12 studied patients (10 M, 2 F) ranged from 48 to 84 (mean 69.8). LS accounted 1.2% (12/935) for all of laryngeal malignancies. The focus of origin were: glottis (6), epiglottis (5); subglottis (1). The most common histological types of LS at studied group were: neurosarcoma (2), fibrosarcoma (2), plasmocytoma (2), chondrosarcoma (1), malignant fibrous histiocytoma (1), sarcoma low grade (1), lymphoma malignum (1), liposarcoma (1) and haemangioendothelioma epithelioides vel plasmocytoma (1). Methods of treatment were: surgery (6); radiotherapy (1); chemotherapy (1); chemo- and radiotherapy (3); symptomatic treatment (1). The clinical results of treatment are: 9 patients are still alive (5 pts more than 5 years, 3 pts less than 5 years, 1 pts less than 2.5 years with residual disease); 3 patient died: 2 pts in 1st year from diagnosis, 1 pts after 3 years of treatment died of non-oncological causes. CONCLUSIONS 1. LS are extremely rare and diversed histologically. 2. Immunochemical analyses are very important procedures used in diagnostics of these malignancies. 3. An individual approach is needed in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of LS.

Abstract
Atypical lipomatous tumor (ALT) of the laryngopharynx is rare. Here we report five cases to demonstrate their clinicopathological features. The patients were four males and one female, aged 41 to 69 years (median 53.6 years). All tumors (two in the hypopharynx and three in the larynx) presented as a slowly growing, painless mass. Symptoms included dysphagia (2/5), dysphonia (3/5), and the feeling of a foreign body in the throat (5/5). Tumors were well circumscribed or focally infiltrative, ranging from 2.0 to 5.0 cm (median, 3.4 cm) in size, and microscopically showed the typical features of lipoma-like ALT. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells were stained with S-100, vimentin, murine double minute 2 (MDM-2), and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4). Two patients had local tumor recurrences at 6 and 14 months after initial surgery during follow-up. ALT of laryngopharynx is an indolent tumor. Immunohistochemical staining for MDM-2 and CDK4 is helpful in pathological diagnosis.

Abstract
Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma is an uncommon sarcoma with myofibroblastic differentiation. It occurs in a wide variety of sites and has a predilection for the head and neck region. Biologically, low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma has a propensity for local recurrence and is associated with a low risk of metastatic spread. Histologically, it can mimic a variety of different types of benign and malignant processes and often requires immunohistochemical analysis for its accurate identification. This report describes a case and discusses the differential diagnosis of a low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma that arose in the larynx of a 69-year-old woman with a history of metastatic skin melanoma. To the best of the authors' knowledge this is the first description in the English literature of low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma originating in the larynx.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soft tissue liposarcomas are quite common in the adult population, whereas liposarcoma of the larynx is exceedingly rare. METHODS We describe an exceptional case of liposarcoma of the posterior aspect of the left arytenoid in a 62-year-old woman who was treated with two endoscopic excisions and adjuvant radiotherapy (RT). This is the 32nd case of laryngeal liposarcoma reported in the English literature. RESULTS After a 20 months follow-up, no local, regional recurrences or distant metastases were detected, and no functional complications are described for the patient. CONCLUSION This case report highlights that endoscopic surgical treatment enables excellent organ and functional preservation. However, recurrence of laryngeal liposarcoma is the principal risk, so extended follow-up is essential. RT has no defined role in treatment but can be discussed, especially considering the surgical margins and recurrence status.

Abstract
Lipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors that are often found in the head and neck. Intrinsic lipomas of the larynx and supraglottic area are rare, as fewer than 115 cases have been reported in the literature; almost all of these occurred in isolation. We report a case of a laryngeal lipoma that was associated with diffuse systemic lipomatosis. The tumor was successfully removed via an endoscopic laser resection. To the best of our knowledge, this is only the second case of laryngeal lipoma associated with lipomatosis to be reported in the English-language literature. We also review the literature on head and neck lipomas.
