An unusual laryngeal lesion in children: granular cell tumor.
Granular cell tumor, a relative rare neoplasm, is of particular interest of the otolaryngologist as some 50% of cases appear in the head and neck region. The youngest reported case of a laryngeal granular cell tumor is presented. Involvement of the larynx is uncommon, but when it occurs it may create diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas.
