Rare Space Occupying Benign Lesions of the Larynx: Management.

Benign tumors of larynx are broadly classified as epithelial and non-epithelial. The management option depends on the tumor characteristics such as size, location and the extent of the tumor. The treatment opted should be able to remove the tumor in toto without compromising the laryngeal function. The current study is to discuss the various treatment options for benign tumors of larynx. The current study is a cross-section observational study which includes 6 cases of benign tumors of the larynx, that were diagnosed and treated at a tertiary care centre. Among the 6 cases, 4 case were treated with an open external approach whereas 2 cases were treated endoscopically. Benign laryngeal tumors with limited intraluminal lesion can be approached by an endoscopic approach whereas large tumors predominantly extra mucosal and has extra laryngeal extension are best treated with open approach without damaging the laryngeal mucosa.
