An unusual case of pleomorphic adenoma of the epiglottis is described. A 71-year-old female complained of dysphagia. Laryngoscopy revealed a tumor located on the laryngeal side of the epiglottis. The tumor was excised successfully by laser treatment under laryngomicroscopy. The extirpated tumor was 1.5cm in diameter, the cut surface was solid and light yellow, and the microscopic diagnosis was pleomorphic adenoma. This is one of three cases of pleomorphic adenoma of the epiglottis to have been reported in Japan.
