Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Benign tumours constitute 5% or less among all laryngeal tumours. Schwannomas present rarely in the larynx, and constitutes about 0.1 to 1.5% of benign tumours. The majority occurs in supraglottic region with order of preference in the aryepiglottic fold (80%), followed by the arytenoids, ventricular folds, vocal cord and rarely in subglottis. In our case, it was arising from posterior commissure which is a very rare presentation. The case report illustrates the clinical diagnosis, radiological confirmation up to the surgical treatment and follows-up.
