Sumario:Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is an extremely rare non-Langerhans cell disorder with an aggressive course and limited treatment options.

We herein describe the first case of HS concomitant with laryngeal carcinoma that was promptly diagnosed and successfully treated; the condition of the patient has remained stable for 4 years with no recurrence.
