[Laryngeal schwannoma. Diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Apropos of 2 cases].
Laryngeal schwannoma is an uncommon benign tumor. We report two clinical cases and discuss the different types of clinical symptoms revealing the tumor. Difficulties encountered in obtaining a histological diagnosis are presented. The contribution of imaging is also analyzed according to the different surgical techniques used to manage the tumor depending on its size and localization. We stress the importance of long-term follow-up as recurrences may occur several years after surgical removal.
