title: [Rare benign space-occupying processes of the larynx].
abstract: Two rare benign space occupying lesions of the larynx are presented. The first case was a big lateral saccular cyst in a female 68 years old and the second a myxolipom of the larynx in an old man, 80 years old. The presenting symptoms, in both cases, were progressive dyspnea und dysphagia. The therapy was the surgical removal of the lesion with the "open" approach. The importance of the CT scanning is emphasized as well its usefulness in the diagnosis and in the definition of the extension of the lesion.
