Abstract
Myxoma is a benign soft-tissue tumor that rarely occurs in the head and neck region. Here we report a case of laryngeal myxoma in a 60-year-old man who presented with the chief complaint of progressive hoarseness beginning 5 years earlier. Fiberscopic examination of the larynx revealed a solid mass involving the left vocal cord or left laryngeal ventricle.
During laryngomicrosurgery, the mass was located in the left vocal cord. The elastic mass was diagnosed as a myxoma. His postoperative course was uneventful and he is currently free from disease at 1 month after surgery, but careful follow-up is necessary.
