Abstract

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary gland neoplasm and most of them arise in the parotid gland. Pleomorphic adenomas at other sites than salivary glands have rarely been reported. We experienced a patient with pleomorphic adenoma of larynx. A 59 year-old female patient visited outpatient clinic complaining of voice change and foreign body sensation. Round mass at right vocal process was found in laryngoscopic exam. We performed laryngoscopic microsurgery to remove the tumor. Histologically, it was diagnosed as pleomorphic adenoma. Recurrence or complication did not occur during the follow up period of 3 years.
