  • Title: Subglottic leiomyoma: report of a case.
    Author: Chang YC, Lin CD, Chiang IP, Cheng YK, Tsai MH.
    Journal: J Formos Med Assoc; 2002 Nov; 101(11):795-7. PubMed ID: 12517061.
    Abstract:
    Subglottic leiomyoma is a rare disease. We encountered such a tumor in a 7-year-old boy who was transferred to our hospital with respiratory distress and hoarseness of 2 week's duration. Stridor was noted and flexible fiberoscopy revealed a huge mass over the subglottis. The tumor was removed endoscopically. Pathologic examination disclosed a leiomyoma. The patient recovered well and no recurrence was noted during 17 months of follow-up. Although subglottic leiomyoma is rare, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of a subglottic tumor.
