- Abstract
Adult laryngeal hemangiomas are rare and mainly involve the supraglottic region. Most common symptoms include dysphagia, dysphonia, shortness of breath and occasionally recurrent bleeding which sometimes cause a diagnostic dilemma for pulmonologists and head and neck surgeons. There is no consensus about the most appropriate treatment modality for laryngeal hemangiomas. We present a case of supraglottic hemangioma in an adult female, which was diagnosed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy and coagulated by Argon plasma coagulation (APC) with no complication.
