Abstract
Laryngeal cancer remains one of the most common localizations of malignant tumors of the head and neck. Despite the availability of modern diagnostic methods, the frequency of delayed and erroneous diagnosis remains high, which negatively affects the prognosis and survival of patients.
The article presents clinical cases of both standard and non-standard laryngeal cancer, in which it was difficult to diagnose in a timely manner.
