Laryngeal schwannoma treated with a CO(2) laser: A case report

Laryngeal schwannoma is a rare benign tumor of the larynx, with a high recurrence rate. The present study reports the case of a 36-year-old male patient with a two-week history of hoarseness. Electronic laryngoscopy revealed that there was a submucosal mass at the level of the right supraglottic are...

description Laryngeal schwannoma is a rare benign tumor of the larynx, with a high recurrence rate. The present study reports the case of a 36-year-old male patient with a two-week history of hoarseness. Electronic laryngoscopy revealed that there was a submucosal mass at the level of the right supraglottic area. A computed tomography scan of the larynx showed an 8×11-mm expansile mass in the right supraglottic area. Histopathological examination diagnosed a schwannoma of the larynx. The tumor was removed by CO(2) laser through an endoscopic transoral approach. One year later, the patient remained symptom-free and direct examination of the larynx showed no signs of recurrence. The aim of the present study is to highlight this rare disease and its management options to the otolaryngological community.
