Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Solitary fibrous tumors of the larynx are extremely rare. To date only occasional cases have been reported in the literature. We present this case report as an additional case to existing literature.
Case Report: This report presents a patient with progressive dysphonia for two years. Examination revealed a bulging mass in the left paraglottic space. A CT scan was performed which demonstrated a well delineated, submucosal mass. The mass was firm and non-mobile and due to this fact obtaining material for biopsy was technically impossible. A surgical excision of the mass via a cervical approach was performed. The mass was completely removed and there was an immediate improvement in the patient's voice quality. Histological examination and immunohistochemical studies revealed a solitary fibrous tumor. Conclusion: This is a rare presentation of a solitary fibrous tumor in the larynx. Management options are discussed and the literature on this uncommon entity is reviewed. | |
