Abstract
- Hamangioma of the larynx is generally classified into adult and infantile form. Infantile hemangiomas can be frequently seen in the subglottic area and has a self-limited disease course while adult hemangiomas are rare and can be seen in different locations such as in epiglottis, aryepiglottic fold, arytenoid and false and ture vocal cords. They are more often of cavernous form. Authors experienced a case of cavernous hemangioma at the left vocal cord in a 48 years-old-man, so we report this case with a review of the literature.
