title: [Laryngeal malignant schwannoma in a 9-year-old boy: report of a clinical case].
abstract: A case of malignant schwannoma of the larynx in a 9 year old boy is reported. The lesion recurred 29 months later with the same histological pattern. The malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours of the larynx are rare and are almost exceptional in paediatric age.
