Abstract

Osteomas are benign, typically slow-growing tumors composed of densely sclerotic, well circumscribed bone. Laryngeal osteomas are extremely rare. We report an

extremely rare Case of laryngeal osteoma. The patient had complaints of dysphonia for 3 years and dyspnea for 1 month. There was a supraglottic mass filling the

laryngeal lumen on indirect laryngoscopic examination. Mass was completely excised using microlaryngoscopic instruments. After the operation, the patient's complaints were completely resolved. Case reports and a review of the world literature concerning laryngeal osteoma and treatment are presented.
