Abstract

<p>Extracardiac rhabdomyomas are rare benign tumors that originate from the striated muscle. Histologic analysis is essential for definitive diagnosis. The curative treatment for rhabdomyomas is surgical excision. We report a case with adult-type rhabdomyoma of the larynx. A 43-year-old female patient presented to us with a one-year history of hoarseness. Flexible laryngoscopic examination showed a smooth submucosal swelling of the left false cord. The tumor was removed using microlaryngeal surgical techniques. Histologic examination revealed an adult-type rhabdomyoma. At the 6-month follow-up, she exhibited no evidence of tumor recurrence and her voice was normal. Long-term follow-up is necessary, as recurrence can occur several years later.</p>
