Case History
Overview
Neurofibromas of the larynx are extremely rare. The clinical symptoms of laryngeal neurofibroma are similar to other types of laryngeal tumors and are depending on the size and localization of the tumor. An association with diffuse neurofibromatosis up to 50 % of patients has been described. In our case, we present an isolated occurrence and treatment of multiple submucosal neurofibromas of the larynx in 24-year-old woman with minimal clinical symptoms. The clinical findings, diagnostic and therapy are discussed.
Key words:
larynx, neurofibroma, therapy.
