Background: The majority of laryngeal cancer cases occur in adults aged 50 70, where alcohol and tobacco use are established risk factors. In patients under 40, laryngeal cancer is uncommon, and both its clinical profile and therapeutic outcomes are not well characterized. Objective: To describe the epidemiological, histological, therapeutic, and evolutionary features of laryngeal cancer in young patients treated at Hassan II University Hospital, Fez.

Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted from January 2012 to December 2024. Inclusion criteria were patients 40 years, histologically confirmed laryngeal cancer, and complete clinical records.

Conclusion: Laryngeal cancer in young patients is rare. Despite lower exposure to traditional risk factors,clinical, histological, and therapeutic characteristics mirror those of older patients
