Abstract
Hemangiomas are benign tumors of an unknown etiology which arise from vascular tissues and are mostly seen in the head and neck region. Laryngeal hemangiomas are often seen during childhood and are rarely seen in adults. They are usually located at the subglottic region and cause shortness of breath and a stridor. Laryngeal hemangiomas can be seen in different localizations such as the epiglottis, aryepiglottic fold, arytenoids, ventricular band and the vocal cords. In this article, we present a 50-year-old male with a cavernous hemangioma located on the free edge of the right vocal cord who was consulted in our clinic with the complaints of persistent voice hoarseness for approximately six-seven months.
