Benign neoplasms of the larynx. A 10-year review of 38 patients. 1983

T Yoshida, and K Kuratomi, and T Mitsumasu

We reviewed the clinical records of 38 patients with benign neoplasms or tumors of the larynx that were examined in the Department of Otolaryngology, Kurume University Hospital during the 10-year period from 1971 to 1980. There were 24 patients with papilloma, 4 amyloid tumor, 2 hemangioma, 2 chondroma, 1 neurofibroma, 1 pleomorphic adenoma, 1 eosinophilic granuloma, 2 non-specific swelling of the ventricular fold, and 1 so-called prolapse of the ventricle. Some of these conditions, such as chondroma, neurofibroma, pleomorphic adenoma and eosinophilic granuloma, are vary rare.

The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in the gonads or present in an embryo or FETUS.

D009455	Neurofibroma	A moderately firm, benign, encapsulated tumor resulting from proliferation of SCHWANN CELLS and FIBROBLASTS that includes portions of nerve fibers. The tumors usually develop along peripheral or cranial nerves and are a central feature of NEUROFIBROMATOSIS 1, where they may occur intracranially or involve spinal roots. Pathologic features include fusiform enlargement of the involved nerve. Microscopic examination reveals a disorganized and loose cellular pattern with elongated nuclei intermixed with fibrous strands. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1016)	Neurofibromas
D010212	Papilloma	A circumscribed benign epithelial tumor projecting from the surrounding surface; more precisely, a benign epithelial neoplasm consisting of villous or arborescent outgrowths of fibrovascular stroma covered by neoplastic cells.

D002648	Child	A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL.	Children
D002812	Chondroma	A benign neoplasm derived from mesodermal cells that form cartilage. It may remain within the substance of a cartilage or bone (true chondroma or enchondroma) or may develop on the surface of a cartilage (ecchondroma or ecchondrosis). (Dorland, 27th ed; Stedman, 25th ed)	Enchondroma,Chondromas,Enchondromas
D004803	Eosinophilic Granuloma	The most benign and common form of Langerhans-cell histiocytosis which involves localized nodular lesions predominantly of the bones but also of the gastric mucosa, small intestine, lungs, or skin, with infiltration by EOSINOPHILS.
