title: [Neurinoma of the vocal cord. A case report].
abstract: Neurilemmoma is an extremely rare tumour of the larynx. A case of a 75-year-old woman who complained of increasing hoarseness for several months is reported. Clinically the tumour looks like a polyp of the left vocal cord. The tumour was completely removed endoscopically. Histological examination, however, revealed a neurilemmoma. To the present day only two cases of neurilemmoma of the vocal cord have been reported in the literature.
