Abstract
Schwannoma occuring from Schwann cells is a well capsulized benign tumor, and is not common in the larynx. Two cases of laryngeal schwannoma were described in this article. The first case was located in the left aryepiglottic fold and was excised via endolaryngeal microsurgery. The other was located throughout the cricothyroid ligament, and extended to the outside of the larynx and to the paraglottic space, and was removed by an external surgical approach. In both cases, diagnosis confirmed pathologically, but the origin of nerves was undetectable.
