Summary

This report details a rare infant subglottic neurofibroma successfully treated with laryngofissure. This case highlights the rarity of laryngeal neurofibromas in infants and informs future management strategies.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Otolaryngology
Surgical Pathology
Rare Tumors

Background:

Neurofibromas are benign nerve sheath tumors with widespread distribution.
Laryngeal neurofibromas are exceptionally rare, particularly in infants.
Previous literature reports only nine cases of laryngeal neurofibromas in children under nine years old.

Observation:

A 2-year-old boy presented with inspiratory stridor, a symptom of upper airway obstruction.
Diagnostic evaluation revealed a subglottic mass.
The patient underwent surgical removal of the tumor via laryngofissure.

Findings:

Pathological examination confirmed the subglottic mass as a neurofibroma.
This represents the first reported case of a subglottic neurofibroma in an infant.

Complete surgical excision was achieved through laryngofissure.

Implications:

This case expands the understanding of rare pediatric airway tumors.
Laryngofissure is a viable surgical approach for subglottic neurofibromas in infants.
Further research into the pathogenesis and management of infantile laryngeal neurofibromas is warranted.
