Abstract

Laryngeal schwannoma is a rare benign tumour of the larynx. Schwannomas derive from the Schwann cells. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the best imaging tool for suggesting the diagnosis. We report case of laryngeal schwannoma. The case was a 61-year-old man with a 1-year history of dysphonia and stridor. Laryngoscopy revealed a submucosal mass of the glottic area. A computed tomography scan of the larynx showed an 26(CC) x 18 (TR) x 24 (AP)mm expansile mass in the glottic area. Histopathological examination diagnosed a schwannoma of the larynx. External surgeries were successfully performed. Diagnosis and specific treatment are discussed.
