Objectives: The larynx is an unusual localization for schwannoma. We present a case report and review pertinent data in the literature.
Material and methods: Laryngeal schwannoma was discovered in a 56-year-old woman who complained of persistent dysphonia. We present the histological findings leading to diagnosis and radiological data together with the therapeutic surgical procedure.
Results: There was no postoperative complication and functional outcome was excellent at one year follow-up, demonstrating that conservative surgery is required for this type of disease.
Conclusion: Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging provide essential data on the spread of this benign submucosal tumor for optimal resection. Conservative surgery provides excellent results.
