Abstract

Granular cell tumor is rare tumor origination from Schwann cell. It occurs extremely rarely in pediatric age. Treatment is complete resection, but this may not always be possible because of the risk of airway stenosis or vocal cord paralysis. Six year-old male patient visited otolaryngology clinic due to dyspnea and stridor. Posterior glottis mass was indentified and was partially resected to confirm histology and resolve airway obstruction. One year after operation, the patient was living well without re-growing of tumor. We report a case of granular cell tumor in pediatric larynx with a review of literature.
