“…The diagnosis is usually made after the tumor is surgically removed. With larger tumors it is difficult to obtain an adequate biopsy specimen because the mucosa is intact and the capsule is firm 9 . Although the symptoms and the location of the mass in this case were typical, difficulties arose during incision of the mass with microlaryngeal instruments.…”

Neurofibromas of the larynx occur sporadically or in association with von Recklinghausen's disease. The first reported case of isolated endolaryngeal neurofibroma in 1925 1 has been followed by occasional reports. 2–4 The aryepiglottic folds are the usual sites of occurrence, and the tumor frequently obscures the endolarynx. Following is a case of solitary neurofibroma of the larynx; preoperative diagnosis was difficult to make, and the tumor was treated surgically.

“…They are characterized by high concentrations of diffusely distributed mast cells 8 . Neurofibroma of the larynx occurs most commonly in the aryepiglottic folds 9 . In this case the neurofibroma arose from the right aryepiglottic fold.…”

Forty‐one patients with benign and malignant neurogenous tumors arising in the head and neck are reviewed. The gross and microscopic characteristics of these tumors are related to their prognosis and treatment. The nerve sheath tumors encountered in this region paralleled those seen elsewhere. Because of the lack of circumscription, total excision of neurofibromas frequently was difficult. Lack of recognition of early changes of malignancy led to initial misdiagnosis of two of the three neurogenous sarcomas. Neoplasms of sympathetic nervous system origin were uncommon; only two neuroblastomas were seen. Possible pitfalls in the histologic interpretation of olfactory neuroblastomas are noted. In several of these patients there was surprising lack of correlation of their clinical course with the histologic appearance of their neoplasm.
