Supraglottic laryngeal paraganglioma.
BACKGROUND
Laryngeal paraganglioma is a rare, mainly supraglottic, tumor.


METHODS
A 67-year-old woman was operated on in June 2009 for supraglottic laryngeal paraganglioma, with simple postoperative course.


CONCLUSIONS
Anatomopathologic features, malignant paraganglioma and the various possible treatments are presented and discussed. Surgical exeresis with an external approach should in our opinion remain the reference treatment, for optimal control of exeresis of this potentially hemorrhagic tumor with risk of recurrence in case of incomplete exeresis.
