Laryngeal hemangiomas are rare vascular tumors that mostly present in children. The objective of this publication is to shed the light over this rare diagnosis. We report a case of adult onset of laryngeal hemangioma arising from the junction of the vocal fold and vocal process. The patient presented with a history of hoarseness of voice. An in-office laryngoscopy was performed that revealed a pink lobulated mass arising from the left hemilarynx. Intraoperatively, suspension microlaryngoscopy was performed; the lesion was identified and successfully resected using cold dissection technique. Histopathological analysis was consistent with laryngeal hemangioma. The patient is now a year post resection and remains asymptomatic without signs of recurrence. To conclude, adult onset of laryngeal hemangioma is very rare. When present, resection with either or both cold steel (microscissors) and laser have shown good outcome. Patients should be monitored afterwards for possible recurrence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
