The clinical, light microscopic, and ultrastructural features of a carcinoid tumor occurring in the larynx of an 80-year-old man are presented and compared with 22 laryngeal carcinoids described in the world literature. These 23 tumors occurred in persons from 45 to 80 years of age (mean age was 61 years) and were three times more common in men than in women. Hoarseness was the most common presenting symptom. Sixty-one percent of the tumors were supraglottic, 26% were transglottic, 4% were glottic, 4% were subglottic, and 4% were unspecified. At least 15 (65%) of the patients are known to have developed metastases. Nine of these (60%) presnted with only regional lymph node metastases, one of which was occult. Surgery is the treatment of choice, with the extent dependent on the stage of disease. Radiation therapy appears ineffective, and chemotherapy is largely untested. The 2- and 4-year determinate survival rates were 59% and 25%, respectively.

Objective. The main objective of this paper is to emphasize the importance of the early diagnosis of certainty in the cases of acral-acroma malignant melanoma in order to increase the survival rate.Method. The paper is a review of specialty literature and presents a clinical case of acral-acroma malignant melanoma. Clinical case: acral-acroma malignant melanoma with confirmed lymph node metastases and possibly secondary remote dissemination to the skin in a male patient aged 16 years. We conducted histo-pathological and immunohistochemical examinations of the collected tissue-fragments.Results. The results obtained from the histochemical and immunohisto-chemical examinations are presented, as well as the problems of differential diagnosis.Conclusion. The early diagnosis of certainty significantly increases the survival rate. Knowledge and awareness of the population on the use of preventive measures regarding the occurence of the acral-acroma malignant melanoma is therefore required.
