Laryngeal leiomyoma.
A case of leiomyoma arising from the subglottic area of a child is reported. This neoplasm is extremely rare in the larynx as only 14 cases have been described in the literature so far. Only 4 of these could be defined as subglottic. The clinical and histopathological features of laryngeal leiomyomas are briefly discussed.
