ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Inflammatory myofibroblatic tumor is a recently caracterized solid mesenchymal tumor. They are frequently localised in the lung. However, the head and neck forms are uncommon.AIM:
To report a new case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the larynx. CASE REPORT This 47-year old man presented with dysphonia without dyspnea. Laryngoscopy showed a tumor of anterior vocal cord. CT scan of larynx confirmed diagnosis. The patient had a cordectomy. Histology concluded to the diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. No relapses have been noted after 4 months.CONCLUSION:
Only a few cases of laryngeal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor have been reported in the literature. Clinical presentation depends of tumor location. Radiological images are not specific and diagnosis is based on histology. The expected course is essentially marked by the risk of local recurrences. Surgical excision seems to be the treatment of choice.
