????????? ????????? ????????? ????????????(Oncocytic Glomus Tumor) 1???

A glomus tumor is a benign neoplasm arising in the soft tissue. The most common affected site for glomus tumor is the subungal area of the finger. Occasionally, it is found in unusual locations, such as stomach, nasal cavity, trachea, mediastinum and bone etc. Oncocytic glomus tumor of the larynx is extremely rare. Laryngeal glomus tumor usually does not express any symp-toms at first, but it causes hoarseness or foreign body sensation subsequently when the size of tumor is increased. The main treatment of laryngeal glomus tumor is by complete surgical excision. Recently, we had treated a 41-year-old woman who had an oncocytic glomus tumor of the larynx by CO2 laser excision under suspension laryngoscope. Here, we report the case with a review of literature.
