Rhabdomyoma of the larynx: a rare cause of stridor.
Rhabdomyomas of the larynx are rare tumours. In the literature to date 18 cases have been reported. They usually present with slowly progressive symptoms typical of their benign nature. We present a case that has many atypical features for an 'adult' type rhabdomyoma and discuss the relevant associated literature.
