Pleomorphic adenoma, a common salivary gland tumor, is rarely found in the larynx. This case highlights a subglottic tumor causing airway obstruction, requiring tracheotomy and direct laryngoscopy for removal.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Head and Neck Pathology

Background:

  • Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most frequent benign neoplasm originating in the major salivary glands.
  • Laryngeal involvement by PA is exceptionally rare, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 74-year-old male presented with progressive dysphonia.
  • Clinical examination revealed a subglottic mass causing significant airway compromise, necessitating an emergency tracheotomy.
  • The mass was successfully excised via direct laryngoscopy.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma in the subglottic region of the larynx.
  • This represents an unusual presentation of a common salivary gland tumor.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare pathologies in the differential diagnosis of laryngeal masses.
  • Early recognition and appropriate surgical management are crucial for patients with airway compromise due to laryngeal pleomorphic adenoma.
  • Further review of laryngeal pleomorphic adenoma literature is warranted to better understand its behavior and treatment outcomes.
