Laryngeal localization is rare. Case PresentationIn the last 9-years, we observed three cases of laryngeal haemangioma, two females, and one male. All patients underwent to surgical excision. None of the three cases had intraoperative complications. DiscussionThe elective treatment of laryngeal haemangiomas remains controversial. In our cases, we opted for laser excision and we noticed that the risk of haemorrhages was particularly low, without no post-surgery complications. ConclusionWe believe that due to the low morbidity and the fast-clinical recovery after treatment with definitive problem resolution, surgical treatment with laser CO 2 should be always considered for treatment of laryngeal haemangioma.
