Abstract
|
|
|
|
Angioleiomyomas are a vascular subtype of leiomyomas or benign smooth muscle tumors. The majority of these tumors occur in the extremities. Angioleiomyoma of the larynx has been reported but is exceedingly rare. Laryngeal angiomyomas can present with hoarseness, dyspnea, or globus sensation, and often misdiagnosed as asthma. We report a case of a 74-year old man with laryngeal angioleiomyoma misdiagnosed as asthma.
