A case report is presented, believed to be the first documented example of pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma developing in the larynx of a child. A review of the literature then follows, with evaluation of the epidemiology, treatment options, and survival of patients with this disease. Cure of this malignancy is more likely with early diagnosis and aggressive treatment. Cancer 59:1012‐1018, 1987.
