Abstract
Most neoplastic lesions of the larynx and hypopharynx originate from the squamous epithelium. These tumors include benign lesions such as papillomas, as well as preinvasive intraepithelial neoplasms and invasive squamous cell carcinomas. This chapter reviews only the squamous intraepithelial lesions and invasive squamous cell carcinoma.
