Abstract:

Laryngeal paragangliomas are rare submucosal lesions. They are usually non-secretory in nature. The clinical presentation of the lesion varies from hoarseness, airway obstruction, and/or swallowing difficulty. The mainstay of the treatment for laryngeal paraganglioma is surgical excision of the lesion. The smaller tumors require endoscopic excision while the large tumors require external approach for excision of the lesion. This report discusses the surgical approach and challenges of a transcervical midline thyrotomy approach for excision of the large laryngeal paraganglioma lesion.
