Dr Siri Krishna Kondreddy, Dr R Bhanu Murthy

Abstract


Adult Laryngeal haemangiomas are very rare conditions to occur. A case of adult male laryngeal haemangioma was reported that progressed slowly. A 55-year-old male presented to our ENT OPD with change of voice and breathlessness on exertion. Video laryngoscopy showed a smooth swelling, pink in colour at the anterior commissure and anterior 1/3rd of left vocal cord. Endoscopic micro laryngeal excision was done without tracheostomy. Histopathological examination showed a cavernous haemangioma. In postoperative follow-up after 2 weeks there was no recurrence with near normal voice. There was no recurrence after 1-year follow-up.


Keywords
