Abstract:
Cell Granular Tumor (CGT) are unusual tumors that can affect any site of the body, with most cases affecting the head and neck region. CGT of the larynx is an uncommon laryngeal tumor accounting for approximately 6-10% of the reported cases. In the larynx pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia may predispose to confuse the CGT with frothy (squamous) cell carcinoma. The origin of this tumor is a matter of debate but most authors believe it to be neural in origin.
