Abstract
- Schwannoma of the larynx is rare. Although it is a benign, slow-growing tumor, it can cause life-threatening laryngeal airway obstruction. Therefore, complete excision is the treatment of choice. Recently, we experienced an unusual case of huge supraglottic schwannoma leading to exertional dyspnea. Therefore, we report this case with a literature review.
