Adult Laryngeal Hemangioma

Adult laryngeal hemangioma is rare, and very few reports of such lesions restricted to the aryepiglottic fold have appeared in the medical literature. We report a hemangioma located over the left aryepiglottic fold in a 57-year-old man. This patient had experienced a lump-in-the-throat sensation for 1 year but complained of no other symptoms. On laryngoscopy, a lobulated dark-red mass was seen over the left aryepiglottic fold. A potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser excision was performed smoothly without complications. The 6-month postoperative follow-up showed good results with no recurrence. An adult supraglottic laryngeal hemangioma is rare and can be treated successfully with a KTP laser.
