Granular Cell Tumor of the Larynx in Children: A Case Report

Abstract

A case of granular cell tumor of the vocal cord in a 13-year-old child, who complained of a horse voice, was reported with a review of the literature. This type of tumor is rare in children. The tumor was found in the anterior 1/3 of the left vocal cord, was milky-white in color and covered by smooth epithelium. It looked like a vocal cord cyst and was successfully removed under microlaryngoscopy. No recurrence has been noted. The removed tumor was solid and characteristically hard. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically.
