Paraganglioma of the supraglottic larynx

Supraglottic paraganglioma is described in an 80-year-old woman who presented with a small shiny-red mass at the posterior aspect of the left aryepiglottic fold. Histological examination revealed the typical 'zellballen' pattern of extra-adrenal paragangliomas. The tumor was locally excised and did not recur at 24 months follow-up.
