Granular cell tumor of the larynx is an uncommon, benign tumor which has rarely been described in the pediatric population. Fewer than 10 cases in children under the age of 10 years have been reported. This paper describes two pediatric patients: An eight-year-old boy with a seven-year history of hoarseness due to an anterior subglottic tumor, and an 11-year-old boy with a one-year history of hoarseness due to a left true vocal cord tumor. Subglottic involvement by laryngeal granular cell tumor is rare in adults, but has been seen in half of the reported cases in the pediatric population. The clinical course of granular cell tumor and its pathology are reviewed.
喉颗粒细胞瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤，在儿科人群中鲜有报道。据报道，10岁以下儿童患者不足10例。本文描述了两名儿科患者：一名8岁男孩，因声门下前部肿瘤导致声音嘶哑7年；另一名11岁男孩，因左侧声带肿瘤导致声音嘶哑1年。喉颗粒细胞瘤累及声门下在成人中罕见，但在已报道的儿科病例中有一半出现过这种情况。本文对颗粒细胞瘤的临床病程及其病理进行了综述。
