The available literature on this medical oddity is in the form of isolated case reports only. The purpose of this article is to add another case of primary rhabdomyosarcoma of a rare site, the larynx, of which only 36 cases have so far been reported in the world literature. The present patient, an eighteen-year-old boy is only the third case being reported from India among all reported cases of rhabdomyosarcoma of the larynx in the world literature.
