Abstract

Benign tumors of larynx in adults are common and are often presents with hoarseness of voice or respiratory difficulty with stridor. Papilloma constitutes the major benign tumor of larynx in adults and usually presents with hoarseness of voice or stridor. A unique case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour of left aryepiglottic fold in a 19 year old female presenting with lateral neck swelling is presented. MRI revealed a polypoidal left aryepiglottic fold mass with caudal extension into the glottis and changing its position into the left PFS on e-phonation. The diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour remained elusive till it was proved histopathologically, after excision by laryngofissure approach. We present this rare case so that this condition and its surgical approach can be better recognized and understood.
