喉頭側切開および咽頭側切開で摘出した喉頭血管腫2症例

抄録

We reported on two cases of laryngeal hemangioma. One was a 67-year-old male complaining of hoarseness. Laryngoscopic findings suggested laryngeal hemangioma, and other examinations supported this diagnosis. We approached the tumor by a lateral laryngotomy on the contralateral side. Surgical findings showed that the tumor had developed from the false cord, and the histological examination revealed a cavernous hemangioma.
The second patient, a 75-year-old male, complained of throat discomfort. A dark red mass was found by laryngoscopy to be located on the left aryepiglottic fold and epiglottis. The tumor was resected by lateral pharyngotomy on the ipsilateral side. This case was also revealed to be a cavernous hemangioma by the histological examination.
As a result of these cases, lateral pharyngotomy and lateral laryngotomy were judged to be safe surgical approaches for larygeal lesions such as hemangioma.
