A rare case of a pleomorphic adenoma of the epiglottis in an 82-year-old patient is presented. Resection of the tumor was accomplished by using the CO2-laser and required a partial epiglottectomy. Postoperatively there were no functional impairments. This is the third case of a pleomorphic adenoma of the epiglottis, published in literature, but the first case in which epiglottectomy was performed by endoscopic laser resection.
