title: Pleomorphic adenoma of the larynx.
abstract: Tumors arising from minor salivary glands are extremely rare neoplasms in the larynx. Of the few reports of pleomorphic adenomas in this site, most have subglottic locations while only one case has involved the true vocal cord and seven cases have had supraglottic locations. We present a case of benign mixed tumor located in the posterior commissure which, to our knowledge, is the first reported in the world literature.
