โฆ Synopsis
Eleven cases of metastases to the intrinsic larynx are reported. This number constitutes the largest collection from a single institution in the literature and brings the total recorded cases to 83. Cutaneous melanomas are the preponderant primaries, followed by renal cell carcinomas, and carcinomas of the breast and lung, respectively. The s upraglottis is the favored site for the metastatic deposit; the glottis, the least frequently involved area.
