Abstract
A group of 31 cases of non-epidermoid cancer of the larynx is described. This, the largest collection of such uncommon and varied lesions, is noteworthy for containing such a large number of salivary gland cancers. The prognosis is poor in the pathologic types described and generally corresponds to the prognosis of similar histologic types found in other anatomic areas. Aggressive surgical management of minor salivary gland cancers in the larynx is recommended to improve survival. Total laryngectomy with radical neck dissection on the side of the primary lesion should be strongly considered even for small lesions.
