Abstract

Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are neoplastic lesions rarely seen in adults. GCTs are most commonly found in the head and neck region, and exceptionally on the larynx. Laryngeal GCTs symptoms and signs may manifest as hoarseness, dysphagia, coughing, hemoptysis, and stridor. We report a case of a 36-year-old woman, who complained of dysphonia. Her clinical history, pathological findings, and treatment are addressed in this article.
