Abstract

Paragangliomas are neoplasms of neural crest cells. They represent less than 1% of head and neck tumors. Laryngeal paragangliomas constitute a smaller fraction of head and neck paragangliomas. Malignant laryngeal paragangliomas with metastasis are extremely rare tumors. Definitive treatment includes complete surgical excision with maximum preservation of laryngeal function. Here, we report a rare case of a 55 year old woman who was diagnosed with recurrent laryngeal paraganglioma along with neck metastasis. A complete excision of mass with a lateral pharyngotomy approach along with neck dissection followed by chemotherapy was done.
