Large hemangioma of the larynx - A case report.

The patient was a 47-year-old male with dyspnea, clouding of consciousness and hoarseness. Under Macintosh laryngoscopy and fiberscopy, a large dark-red tumor was found narrowing the air way. Laryngofissure revealed an extended tumor from the false cord to the arytenoid area on the right side. The tumor was removed together with the surrouding normal tissues. Two points of normal tissue near the tumor were coagulated by an electric coagulator. The incision was performed between them, so there was little bleeding. The normal laryngeal mucosa, which had overlain the tumor, was preserved and replaced to cover the raw surface.Histological examination revealed hemangioma cavernosa.
