Sažetak

Neuroendocrine carcinomas are very rare in the area of the larynx, and, according to the World Health Organisation, they are divided into three groups: typical carcinoid – well differentiated euroendocrine
carcinoma, atypical carcinoid tumour – moderately differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma, and a small cell neuroendocrine arcinoma – poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma.
It is very important to differ the mentioned types of tumours because of different types of treatment and prognoses. The atypical carcinoid is the most common type of the larynx tumours and, as a rule, it is
supraglottis located with a tendency to local invasion and metastases.
The authors show a case of atypical carcinoid localised on the left ryepiglottic fold of a 71-year-old male, pathohistological and mmunohistochemical diagnostic analysis: cytokeratin, epithelial embrane antigen, chromogranin A, synaptophysin. The treatment includes transoral endoscopic resection of the tumour. The patient has been observed for five years and his findings are normal.
