“…In total, 80% of laryngeal schwannomas are found in the aryepiglottic folds, while the remaining 20% are found in the false and true cords (7). In the majority of cases, the nerve of origin is likely to be the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (8).…”

Schwannomas are benign encapsulated tumors arising from Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. Between 25 and 45% of schwannomas occur in the head and neck region. Schwannomas of the larynx are extremely rare with an incidence of 0.1–1.5% in all benign laryngeal tumors. Laryngeal schwannomas usually occur in females aged between their 4th and 5th decades. The most successful curative method is surgical resection. When selecting the surgical method, the size and location of the tumor, as well as the requests of the patient, should be considered. The present case report describes a 29-year-old female patient with symptoms of hoarseness and dyspnea on exertion. Through endoscopic biopsy, histopathology revealed a schwannoma. Considering the symptoms, age and preferences of the patient, the method of trans-oral microlaryngoscopic excision without tracheotomy was used to excise the tumor located in the aryepiglottic fold. Results from a short-term follow-up showed the postoperative result to be satisfactory.

“…They get their name from the fact that they originate in the Schwann cells of motor, sensory or cranial nerves, but do not contain nervous elements. The most common site is the side of the neck, originating in the cervical nerve roots and the cervical sympathetic trunk 1 . They are rarely found in the larynx and there are only sporadic reports of this presentation in the literature.…”

ResumoO schwanoma representa etiologia rara de tumor benigno de laringe, tendo como principal tratamento a ressecçâo cirúrgica. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso raro de paciente jovem submetido à ressecçâo cirúrgica de schwanomalaríngeo,evoluindo, no transperatório, para complicaçâo hemorrágica grave enecessitando de embolizaçâo de urgencia.Palavras-chave: embolizaçâo terapéutica; schwanoma; laringe. AbstractSchwannoma is a rare cause oí benign tumors of the larynx. The first-choice treatment is surgical resection. The objective of this paper is to report on a rare case of a young female patient who suffered severe intraoperative hemorrhaging during surgical resection of a laryngeal Schwannoma and needed emergency embolization.

Schwannomas are benign tumors arising from Schwann cells of cranial, peripheral, and autonomic nerves. The 25%-45% of all schwannomas occur in the head and neck region, but the laryngeal localization is rare. 1-3 They usually arise from branches of the superior laryngeal nerve, developing in the supraglottic region. 4,5 Recurrent laryngeal nerve schwannomas are even more uncommon with only eight cases reported in the English literature. 6-13 Recurrent laryngeal schwannomas usually present as insidious, slow-growing, submucosal masses located in the posterior paraglottic space, clinically associated with dysphagia, dysphonia, dyspnea, or stridor. Preoperative diagnosis is possible on the basis of clinical findings and imaging. Radical surgical excision with minimal injury to uninvolved surrounding areas is considered the treatment of choice, but there are currently no guidelines. The external approach is the most widely described technique for large lesions, while the endoscopic management, with or without laser, is generally proposed for smaller tumors confined in the glottic or supraglottic region. 4,5,14 The authors report a case of transoral-transpharyngeal CO 2 laser en bloc excision of a voluminous schwannoma of the intralaryngeal portion of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, along with the review of the pertinent literature.
