title: [Inflammatory pseudotumor of the larynx in children].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Describe the management of laryngeal pseudotumor in a young boy with exclusive endoscopic resection with laser CO2 resection.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We report a rare case of a laryngeal pseudotumor in a child that was successfully treated with endoscopic resection with laser CO2 vaporization. The last follow-up at 12 months revealed no evidence of recurrence and no voice sequelae. This is the first case reported that was successfully treated after a single procedure. It is the second one where tracheotomy was avoided.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Endoscopic resection with laser CO2 vaporization is a safe and effective treatment in cases of limited laryngeal inflammatory pseudotumor in a pediatric population, but close follow-up is necessary because of the risk of local recurrence.
