Laryngeal paraganglioma in a patient with multiple head and neck paragangliomas

Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2005 Mar;132(3):520-2. doi: 10.1016/j.otohns.2004.05.015.

Abstract

Paragangliomas of the larynx are rare neuroendocrine tumors, with fewer than 70 cases reported in the literature. 1 Typically, laryngeal paragangliomas are not found in patients with multicentric or familial paragangliomas. Only 1 case of laryngeal paraganglioma has been reported in a patient with a synchronous lesion elsewhere (carotid body tumor). 2 We report an additional case of a patient with a laryngeal and multiple other paragangliomas.
