Abstract
Multiple primary tumors have long been considered as a feature
of laryngeal carcinoma. The most common sites of primary
tumors appearing during the course of laryngeal carcinoma
were, in order, the lung, mouth and oropharynx. However,
primary cutaneous neoplasm reported during the course of
laryngeal carcinoma occurs very rarely. We report a case of
primary cutaneous malignant melanoma that developed during
the follow-up of a 43-year-old male with primary laryngeal
carcinoma. We review the literature with these recent developments.

Keywords: Laryngeal carcinoma; malignant melanoma; neoplasm; metachronous neoplasm; multiple primary tumors
