“…2,3 In a study by Kazikdas et al, 12 capillary hemangioma was found on the anterior one-third of his right vocal fold and was successfully excised with microscissors without complications postoperatively. In another study by Laohakittikul and Srirompotong, 13 lobular capillary hemangioma was found at anterior half of left true vocal fold; excision with laryngeal carbon dioxide laser was done successfully. Similarly, we excised the lesion by cold steel surgery.…”

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.

“…Hemangiomas are a type of vascular tumor that can frequently be discovered in the head and neck area. 1 In children, 60-70% of hemangiomas arise from birth with an incidence 2.5% in neonates. It has been observed that approximately 4% of children are affected by laryngeal hemangioma.…”

Introduction: Benign vascular tumors known as hemangiomas are frequently observed in the head and neck area. Hemangiomas are more common in infantile and can regress spontaneously. In adults, laryngeal hemangioma is extremely rare. They may occur in supraglottic and glottic regions that can cause hoarseness, globus sensation, dysphagia, hemoptysis, and shortness of breath. As a result of the uncommon nature of these conditions, there are no clear treatment guidelines. Surgical excision under micro laryngoscopy with laser is still the first choice for laryngeal hemangiomas in adults. Aim: Give information on how to diagnosis adult laryngeal hemangioma and give information about the effectiveness and their efficacy using diode laser for the management. Case Report: A 51 year old woman appeared with a one-month history of gradually worsening shortness of breath and a five-month history of dysphonia. On fiberoptic laryngoscopy, examination revealed a purple-red mass in color, covering the vocal folds and almost entire of rim glottic. We performed tracheostomy procedures under local anesthesia before excision the hemangioma by microlaryngeal surgery with diode laser under general anesthesia. Method: Literature searching through Google Scholar, Pubmed and Science Direct using keywords of "laryngeal hemangioma", "management of laryngeal hemangioma" and "microlaryngoscopic surgery". Result: Selection based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, found only 1 literature was relevant with the topic. Conclusion: Microlaryngoscope surgery with diode laser is a best choice for treatment of adult laryngeal haemangioma because it is the safest and most effective. In cases accompanied wuth shortness of breath that causes by upper airway obstruction, a tracheostomy could be conducted.

“…5 Due to its rarity, scattered case reports regarding the clinical management of ANPLH in nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and/or larynx are available. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] However, no large-scale investigations focusing on ANPLH have been published. Therefore, our current study aims to clarify the clinical features, classification, and therapeutic strategies of patients with ANPLH based on a relatively large sample size, which will deepen our understanding of ANPLH and standardize the clinical management for these patients.…”

Objectives/Hypothesis: To analyze the clinical features, classification, and treatment of adult nasopharyngolaryngeal hemangioma (ANPLH).Study Design: Retrospective study.Methods: From February 2009 to May 2020, 101 patients with ANPLH were reviewed and analyzed.Results: Symptoms of ANPLH were frequently displayed as abnormal pharyngeal sensation and functional defection. According to lesion location, ANPLH was divided into five categories including nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal, laryngeal, and mixed types. The mixed type constitutes the highest portion, and the nasopharyngeal type is the least in our cohort. Most lesions could resect through natural cavity under endoscopy. Patients with mixed lesions had a higher rate of postoperative recurrence and planned multiple surgeries. Acceptable but not severe intraoperative and postoperative complications occurred in our patient cohort.Conclusions: Patients with ANPLH are always symptomatic and even functional defective, which can be classified into five categories based on lesion location. For these patients, endoscopic surgery through natural cavity is recommended to remove lesions with fewer complications and favorable clinical outcomes.
