Özet

Glandular hamartoma of the larynx is an extremely rare lesion, and the number of well-documented and acceptable cases is limited. Presenting symptoms may include changes in voice, eating and activity levels, and respiratory complaints. We report on a 14-month-old infant with this rare clinical entity. Direct laryngoscopy revealed a well-mucosalized, encapsulated, firm, 0.5 cm wide and 2.5 cm long lesion that originated from the right aryepiglottic fold and reached into the nasopharynx. The mass was completely excised endoscopically. Histopathological examination revealed a hamartoma, which was composed of glandular elements, mixed with mesodermal tissues. After endoscopic removal of the hamartoma, the child was relieved of the obstruction. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
