ABSTRACT
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2B (MEN2B) is an autosomal dominant cancer syndrome caused by a mutation in rearranged during transfection (RET) proto-oncogene and includes medullary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, gastrointestinal neuromas, and mucosal ganglioneuromas. Medullary thyroid carcinoma is the major cause of mortality in MEN2B syndrome. Medullary thyroid carcinoma can often appear during the first years of life. While mucosal neuromas in MEN2B are common, laryngeal neuromas are extremely rare. We present a third case of a pediatric patient with a laryngeal neuroma localized to the left true vocal cord and conduct a literature review of vocal cord neuromas in MEN2B patients.
