Myxomas are rare in the vocal cords. A 69-year-old man was admitted with one-year history of progressive dysphonia. Laryngoscopy revealed a polypoid mass on the right vocal cord. The diagnosis was cellular myxoma. A review of the literature including the present case revealed eleven reported cases of myxoma. Ten cases were classic myxoma. To the best of our knowledge, cellular myxoma has not been previously reported in the vocal cord. Hypercellularity does not affect the behavior of cellular myxoma. However, its recognition is important to prevent confusion with the group of low-grade myxoid sarcomas. Cellular myxoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any vocal cord mass.
黏液瘤在声带中较为罕见。一名69岁男性因进行性声音嘶哑1年入院。喉镜检查发现右侧声带存在息肉样肿物。诊断为细胞性黏液瘤。回顾包括本病例在内的文献,共发现11例黏液瘤报告病例。其中10例为经典型黏液瘤。据我们所知,此前声带中尚未报告过细胞性黏液瘤。细胞增多并不影响细胞性黏液瘤的生物学行为。然而,认识到这一点对于防止与低级别黏液样肉瘤混淆很重要。在对任何声带肿物进行鉴别诊断时都应考虑细胞性黏液瘤。
