title: [A case of subglottic osteoma].
abstract: A 41 years female patient was hospitalized with hoarseness for three months, without cough, expectoration and dyspnea. The symptom had no relief by application of antibiotics. Electronic laryngoscope showed that there were the grey neoplasms under subglottic anteriou commissure with broad base and slightly rough surface, and bilateral vocal cords were normal; throat CT showed subglottic irregular high density and calcification. The subglottal tumor resection was performed under the general anesthesia and laryngoscope CO2 laser assisted. In the operation, we found that the tumor was hard with surface of thin mucosa tissue, and there was white bone tissue under it. The removing tumor was about 0. 8 cm X 0. 6 cm X 0. 3 cm and was diagnosed as subglottic osteoma by pathologic examine. There was no recurrence in three months follow-up.
