title: Solitary fibrous tumour of the larynx: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) of the larynx is a rare benign mesenchymal tumour of adults. The diagnosis is based on a combination of histological and immunohistochemical signs.
  
  
  METHODS
  The authors report the case of a patient with chronic laryngeal dysphonia and dyspnoea related to supraglottic SFT.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The main challenge of surgery is to ensure healthy resection margins to avoid recurrence while preserving the functions of the upper aerodigestive tract. Surgery is the treatment of choice and provides an excellent prognosis. Long-term clinical follow-up is required to detect rare recurrences.
