Objectives Malignant minor salivary gland tumors are rare, accounting for fewer than 1% of all laryngeal cancers. This study aims to share our experiences regarding clinical, radiological, pathological profiles and their management. Materials and Methods The current study reviews 11 cases of malignant minor salivary gland tumors of the larynx treated surgically at our Institute between 2005 and 2019. Results The mean age of the patients was 54 years (Range 38-75 years) with six females and five males in the series (1.2:1). Subglottis and trachea were the sites of origin in 54% of the cases, and hoarseness with dyspnea were the most common presenting symptoms. There were nine Adenoid cystic and two Mucoepidermoid carcinoma patients. Surgery was the primary mode of treatment. Conclusion Most of the larynx's malignant minor salivary gland tumors are submucosal in origin. The outcome and prognosis vary considerably based on the tumor's histology, grade, and stage.
