Endolaryngeal neurofibromas.
A neurofibroma in the larynx is quite unusual and is more likely to appear as a solitary, isolated lesion rather than a concomitant finding in von Recklinghausen's disease. A case is presented of a patient with residual endolaryngeal neurofibroma despite eight attempts at removal. The importance of complete extirpation during the initial operative procedure using frozen sections to guarantee clear surgical margins is advocated.
