Abstract
- Neurofibroma of the larynx is a rare disease. Endolaryngeal neurofibromas may take place as an isolated lesion or a part of multiple neurofibromatosis (von Recklinghausen's disease). A case of endolaryngeal neurofibroma was the first reported by Suchanek in 1925. Following the first report, there have been sporadic reports of endolaryngeal neurofibroma When the lesion is in the larynx, the major site is the aryepiglottic fold or the arytenoid, because the branch of the superior laryngeal nerve is involved. Rarely, a vocal cord is also concerned. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We report a case of isolated neurofibroma arising from the right true vocal cord.
