There are various types of benign tumours of larynx, depending upon the site and size, their management may vary. 1 The benign tumors either sessile or pedunculated. They are often detected at an early stage and removed by Micro laryngeal surgery. The benign tumors present with hoarseness of voice, dysphagia and sometimes difficulty in breathing.2 It is rare a condition that patient with benign tumour of larynx need trachestomy. We are presenting a 50 yr old tracheostomized male patient having huge tumour of larynx, who was advised total laryngectomy. The multiple biopsies showed suspicion of malignant tumour. It was removed by laryngofissure approach as the tumour was not negotiable by MLS.
