title: [Neurilemmoma of the larynx with three case reports].
abstract: Neurilemmoma of the larynx is rare. We report three cases who were treated in our hospital in recent decade. The tumours mainly involves the aryepiglottic folds, the ventricular folds or extending to the pyriform fossa, uncommon being subglottic. It is believed that the most likely nerve of origin is the superior laryngeal nerve. Surgical approach was median laryngotomy for 2 cases and lateral pharyngotomy for 1 case.
