“…Supraglottic involvement is common, although a few cases involving the subglottis have been reported. 9 In the supraglottis, the arytenoid and aryepiglottic fold are the most common sites, as in our case. Because of their location in the supraglottis, it is believed that most neurofibromas arise from the terminal ramifications of the superior laryngeal nerve in the submucosal space.…”

“…The most common symptom is hoarseness, with some patients complaining of a sensation of having something in the throat, as occurred in our case. 9 Other symptoms, depending on the size and location of the tumor and the age of the patient, include stridor, dysphagia, pain in the throat, coughing, and choking. Maisel and Ogura 7 described a patient who had been born with stridor and who had required a tracheotomy at the age of 1 year.…”

Neurofibromas of the larynx are extremely rare. They occur in association with neurofibromatosis less frequently than solitary neurofibromas. However, most laryngeal tumors in neurofibromatosis are neurofibromas. This disorder has 2 histological subtypes, which require different surgical approaches because of their biological differences. Few cross-sectional imaging studies have been performed in neurofibroma of the larynx. We describe a 44-year-old man with neurofibromatosis and nonplexiform neurofibroma of the larynx and discuss the role of preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in this case. The tumor was removed completely using an endolaryngeal approach without an external incision. It was possible to distinguish subtypes preoperatively on cross-sectional imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging provided more sensitive information in the diagnosis of this tumor than computed tomography. Preoperative cross-sectional imaging should be performed to help the surgeon diagnose and choose an appropriate surgical approach for this disorder.

“…As previously reported, the aryepiglottic fold is the most commonly involved subsite. 7 Review of the reported anatomic distribution demonstrated the aryepiglottic fold was the most commonly cited location (34%) followed by the arytenoid (18%), and the post-cricoid/hypopharynx (14%). (Figure 4A) Preoperative imaging determines the lesion’s anatomic extent, aiding in the selection of appropriate surgical approach.…”

Objective Presentation of a case of pediatric laryngeal neurofibroma (LNF) and review of the world literature. Data Sources/Review methods Comprehensive review of the world literature using Pubmed and Google Scholar. Results Pediatric LNF was identified in 62 cases reported in the world literature. The most common presenting symptom is stridor and the most common location of the tumor in the larynx is the aryepiglottic fold. Recent reports demonstrate increased utilization of endoscopic resection with reduced need for tracheostomy. Conclusion Pediatric LNF is a rare disorder. Review of the world literature since 1940 suggests a recent trend away from aggressive open resection and towards more conservative endoscopic resection with excellent functional results.

“…7 Our case report of a subglottic nerve sheath tumor in a pediatric patient is the third to appear in the world literature. 8,9 Carbon dioxide laser with jet ventilation technique was used to resect the tumor. Given the patient's age, unique location of the lesion, and laser endoscopic management, it seems appropriate to report the case.…”
