Abstract

Presented is a case of an exceptionally rare laryngeal tumor removed by means of endoscopic surgery using a CO2 laser following earlier embolization of the left superior laryngeal artery. From the patient’s perspective, it is extremely important that the procedure be performed in a possibly least invasive manner so that no laryngeal or pharyngeal dysfunctions develop as the consequence thereof. </br> </br> Due to the total nature of the resection with negative (R0) resection margins being achieved, and due to the histopathological examina-tion being suggestive of the benign nature of the lesion, no adjuvant treatment was required in the reported case. </br> </br> Due to the sporadic incidence of SFTs within the laryngeal region and the incompletely studied biology of these tumors, long-term follow-up in the setting of an outpatient laryngological clinic is advisable.
