Objectives/Hypothesis

To report the first case of transoral excision of a paraglottic laryngeal schwannoma.

Methods

Case report.

Results

Laryngeal schwannomas are rare tumors, with approximately 75 cases reported to date worldwide. Most cases involve superficial supraglottic tumors excised transorally, and some have been found in deeper compartments and treated using transcervical approaches. This report describes the first excision of a schwannoma of the paraglottic space via endoscopic laser laryngotomy. The procedure allowed return to normal function, without recurrence within 8 months, after which the patient was lost to follow-up.

Conclusions

Transoral excision of benign paraglottic tumors is safe and feasible.

Level of Evidence

N/A. Laryngoscope, 2021
