Granular cell tumors are benign relatively rare lesions that can occur in any organ in the body. Tongue is the most predilected site. Granular cell tumor vocal cord is even rarer and typically occurs in the third decade of life. It generally presents as a single lesion, but multiple lesions can also occur. Patients present with hoarseness andor airway obstruction. Granular cell tumors are resistant to radiotherapy, and therefore surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We report the case of granular cell tumor vocal cord in a 13-year-old male child in whom direct laryngoscopic excision of the tumor was advocated.
