Asphyxial death caused by a laryngeal schwannoma: a case report
1997
Neurogenic tumours of the larynx are unusual, with approximately 115 cases reported in the literature to date. Most of these lesions are benign, solitary submucosal nodules which present with hoarseness and are amenable to surgical resection. We present a case of a large pedunculated schwannoma arising in the aryepiglottic fold associated with sudden asphyxial death in an otherwise healthy young female.
