Abstract

We describe a case of laryngeal venous malformation in 43 year-old patient, discovered incidentally. Laryngeal venous malformation is a comparatively rare condition in adults. It presents as a dark bluish mass that may cause bleeding, hoarseness or stridor, but he complained only mild throat discomfort. We found dark-bluish tumor on the right arytenoid area, and treated the lesion by Ethanol sclerotherapy. All lesions disappeared after one month without any complication. Sclerotherapy with Ethanol can be an easy and effective treatment for laryngeal venous malformations, so we present the case with a review of the related literatures.
