title: [Laryngeal schwannoma: a case report and review of the literature].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  In presenting a case of laryngeal schwannoma, the authors emphasize the difficulties in diagnosing this rare pathology and review treatment options. The recent literature concerning this benign tumour is reviewed.
  
  
  METHODS
  The authors present a case of laryngeal schwannoma in a 29 year old man, revealed by exertional inspiratory dyspnea.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient was treated by a conservative surgery with no recurrence after two years follow-up.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging provide essentiel data on the spread of this benign tumour. The possibility of malignant change and recurrence warrant long-term follow-up.
