Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare tumor of the larynx. Whereas more than 80 % of all EMP arise in the upper aerodigestive tract, only about 10 % of them are laryngeal.1 Since the first report on EMP of the larynx in 1913 by Wachter1, less than 100 additional cases have been described in the world literature, the subglottis and epiglottis area being the most commonly involved subsites ...

Paraganglioma of the larynx is a rare neoplasm which mostly arises from supraglottic area.  Herein, we report on a 45-year-old woman presented with supraglottic laryngeal paraganglioma.

The C-MAC videolaryngoscope was evaluated for intubation in patients with predicted extremely difficult airway. The presented cases are patients with neoplasm tumors in larynx. In all cases, awake intubation using C-MAC videolaryngoscope was performed in patients breathing spontaneously, under local anaesthesia, with oxygen administered via nasal catheter. All intubations were successful and un...

The Larynx, trachea and the main bronchi together form the extrapulmonary lower airways. After air has been warmed and moistened in the upper airways (nose and pharynx), it passes through the larynx – the guardian of the airways. the larynx separates the trachea from the esophagus and is the organ from which voice is produced. The air then passes the tube-shaped trachea, which bifurcates into t...

Neuroendocrine carcinomas of the larynx include a range of rare tumors which have variable biologic behavior, affecting treatment and prognosis. Among these, typical carcinoid tumors are the least common type. Prognosis of typical carcinoid tumor is better than atypical carcinoid tumor and small cell carcinoma of the larynx. Conservation surgery is the preferred treatment modality. Transoral CO...

Laryngeal schwannoma is a rare benign tumor of the larynx, with a high recurrence rate. The present study reports the case of a 36-year-old male patient with a two-week history of hoarseness. Electronic laryngoscopy revealed that there was a submucosal mass at the level of the right supraglottic area. A computed tomography scan of the larynx showed an 8×11-mm expansile mass in the right supragl...
