Oat cell carcinoma of the larynx is a rare and highly malignant tumor. Five cases are reported and the world literature is reviewed. Three of the five patients had distant metastases when they were first seen with hoarseness. The radiographic and histologic findings and treatment regimen for one patient are described, as well as correct recommendations for therapy of these tumors.
