Abstract:
A paraganglioma is a neuroendocrine neoplasm that originates from the paraganglion cells of the parasympathetic system. The average age of presentation is in the fifth decade. We report a case of laryngeal paraganglioma in a five-year-old child, the youngest case ever recorded. The features of paraganglioma which differentiate it from other tumours are also discussed.
