Abstract

Primitive neuroectodermal tumour/extraskeletal Ewing’s sarcoma (PNET/EES) is a rare disease of the head and neck region. We report a case of a 74-year-old man with a laryngeal Ewing’s sarcoma. This is the first reported case of extraskeletal Ewing’s sarcoma of the larynx in an elderly male patient. The patient was successfully treated with surgical resection and post-operative radiotherapy.
