Laryngeal schwannomas are extremely uncommon. We present a case of bulky supraglottic schwannoma with involvement of the preepiglottic and superior paraglottic spaces. Clinical findings, computed tomography and magnetic resonance images are presented. These characteristics are typical, however not specific to schwannomas. For definitive diagnosis, histology and immunohistochemistry are necessary. We present an external mini-invasive approach that allowed us to both obtain diagnosis and provide definitive treatment for this kind of voluminous laryngeal tumour.
喉神经鞘瘤极为罕见。我们报告一例巨大的声门上神经鞘瘤，累及会厌前间隙和声门上旁间隙。文中展示了临床检查结果、计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像。这些特征具有典型性，但并非神经鞘瘤所特有。要明确诊断，组织学和免疫组织化学检查必不可少。我们介绍了一种外部微创方法，该方法使我们能够对这类巨大的喉部肿瘤进行诊断并提供确切治疗。
