Abstract

Lymphangioma of the larynx is extremely rare. We have been able to find out 17 cases reported in the world literature. Recently we studied a case with lymphangioma of the larynx in our department.<BR>The patient, female, aged 36, complained of hoarseness for a few months, and visited us on July 28, 1979. Indirect laryngoscopy revealed that the growth occupied her right false vocal cord. Under general anesthesia, tracheostomy and larygofissure were performed for removal of the neoplasm. The tumor was diagnosed as lymphangioma microscopically. The complaint disappeared after surgery and there was no recurrence.<BR>The pertinent literature on this rare disease is reviewed.
