Introduction
Laryngeal malignancies constitute 1% of overall and 13% of the head and neck region malignancies. [1] Principally, laryngeal malignancies are classified into 2 main groups according to the histopathological characteristics: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and non-SCC laryngeal malignancies.[2,3] Also SCC is classified into two groups according to the pathological features: conventional (classic) type and variants of SCC (vSCC), whereas vSCC constitutes up to 5% of all laryngeal malignancies.[3]
Even though there is vast knowledge present in the literature about the classification and clinical properties of classical type SCC, limited information about the vSCC challenges physicians during the treatment.[4] This study aims to provide a clinical and pathological evaluation of vSCC with a literature review. Our secondary aim is to compare the preoperative and postoperative pathological results of the patients with laryngeal SCC.
