  • Title: [Paraganglioma (chemodectoma) of the larynx. Presentation of 2 cases].
    Author: Urso C, Messerini L, de Meester W, Ferri G.
    Journal: Pathologica; 1989; 81(1076):611-6. PubMed ID: 2561405.
    Abstract:
    Two rare cases of laryngeal paraganglioma are reported. The first patient was a 14-year-old girl, that had a new laterocervical paraganglioma, 4 years after the excision of a laryngeal tumor. The other patient was a 33-year-old man. In both the cases, the diagnosis was made on histopathological ground and the tumors displayed the typical histological pattern of paragangliomas: epithelioid tumor cell arranged in nests (Zell-ballen) in a vascular stroma. Neoplastic cells were found to contain argyrophil granules and chromogranin. Laryngeal paragangliomas reported in the literature are 73, they generally are supraglottic, show no sex predilection and prefer the V-VII decades of age.
