Abstract
Laryngeal leiomyosarcoma is an extremely rare malignancy originating from the smooth muscles of blood vessels. Herein, we present the first case of leiomyosarcoma arising from the glottic area of the larynx with coexistent tuberculous mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The patient was treated with vertical laryngectomy and anti-tuberculous medication. He has been disease-free for 24 months since initial treatment.
