Two cases which leiomyoma occurred in nasal cavity and in larynx were reported. The first case was a 40-year-old housewife who complained of intermittent painless bleeding from the right nostril for one year. The physical examination showed the right nostril to be filled with bloody discharge. On cleaning the nose a pinkish tumor was seen on the right middle turbinate. The lesion was excised with a surgical forceps under general anesthesia. The histologic examination showed certainly benign smooth muscle tumor.
The second case was a 50-year-old housewife who complained of dysphagia and slight laryngeal pain for about one year. Laryngeal examination revealed a thumb's head sized tumor in the epiglottis and right aryepiglottic fold. The lateral transthyroid pharyngotomy was performed under general anesthesia. This was a leiomyoma of the vascular type. Both cases were rarely seen in nasal cavity and in larynx.
