[Granular cell tumor (Abrikosov's tumor) of the larynx--literature review and 2 case reports].
Granular cell tumors are uncommon neoplasms of the head and neck and they are rare in the larynx. About 200 cases had a laryngeal setting. The origin of these tumors is still unknown, but most authors believe it to be neural in origin. Authors described two laryngeal sites of granular cell myoblastoma. In the first case (44 year old man) tumor was located at the vocal fold. It was removed by laryngofissurae. In the second case (56 year old woman) tumor was located at the arytenoid cartilage and was removed radically during Kleinssaser directoscopy.
