Somewhat less than 100 cases of neurogenic tumors of the larynx are reported in the literature. This is slowly growing tumor and is mostly schwannomas and neurofibromas, and could affect any age group. Since the first description of Von Recklinghausen's disease in 1882, about 20 cases of laryngeal involvement have been reported in the world literature. In this paper two cases of laryngeal neurofibroma will be presented: one congenital laryngeal neurofibroma in a 2-month-old boy, and one large laryngeal neurofibroma in Von Recklinghausen's disease in a 28 year old woman. The importance of conservative surgical procedure is discussed with. case presentation and literature review.

후두 유두종은 후두에서 발생하는 가장 흔한 양성종양이나 임상적으로는 이비인후과영역에서 치유하기 어려운 질환중 하나이다. 1817년 Cheesmann이 성대에서 발생한 유두종을 처음 보고한 이래 많은 보고가 있었으나 아직도 결정적인 치료법이 없는 실정이다. 연자는 수술적 제거후 재발을 방지할 목적으로 Interferon을 술후 7일간은 300,000IU을 매일 피하주사하고 이후는 주 3회에 걸쳐 주사하였으며 동시에 5-FU l00mg을 주 5회 국소분무요법으로 3개월간 병합 실시하여 치료후 평균 3개월 이상 관찰 결과 대상환자 10명중 6명에서는 전혀 재발이 없었고 2명은 현저한 감소, 2명은 재발의 양상을 나타내었다.

During last two. decades, microlaryngeal surgery opened now era in the laryngeal surgery. In 1960, using Lynch's suspension laryngoscope, Seal co et al performed the first successful microsurgery in the treatment of polyp and other laryngeal diseases. In 1968, Kleinsasser reported a new technique of microlaryngeal surgery with a self retaining laryngoscope. Authors studied the statistic analysis of 53 cases (75 times) of the suspension laryngoscopic microsurgery at E.N.T. department of Han Yang University Hospital from May 1972 to April 1979 an reported this result. 1) sex distribution was male 1.3 : female 1. 2) age distribution was 3rd decade 14 cases (26.4%), 2nd decade 10 cases (18.7%) and 5th decade 9 cases (17%) in order. 3) chief compliant was hoarseness 48 cases (90.6%), dyspnea 16 cases (30.5%) and sore throat 8 cases (15.1%) in order. 4) diagnostic impression was polyp 18 cases (34%), nodule 12 cases (22.6%), papilloma 9 cases (17%), tumor 7 cases (13.2%), intubation granuloma 3 cases (5.7%) in order and other kinds were laryngeal stenosis with decannulation difficulty, laryngeal paralysis and hematoma. 5) histopathologic result of 48 cases was polyp 17 cases (35.4%), papilloma 11 cases (23%), nodule 9 cases (18.9%), malignancy 3 cases (6.3%), chronic inflammation 2 cases (4.2%) in order and others were hyperkeratosis, mucous retension cyst, nodule associated abscess, granuloma, hematoma and unconfirmed case. 6) in involved site, both sides 15 cases (60%), Lt.side 5 cases (19%), Rt side 3 cases (12%), anterior commissure 3 cases (12%) on the nodule and polyp (26 cases) and whole laryngeal involvement 7 cases (63.6%), one side cord involement 3 cases (23.7%), extralaryngeal involvement 1 cases (9.1%) on the papilloma (11 cases).

Laryngeal neoplasm is the second most common malignancy of the upper aerodigestive tract. About 85% to 95% of laryngeal malignancies are squamous cell carcinoma that arises from the epithelial lining of the larynx. The exact cause of laryngeal neoplasm is unknown, but certain risk factors can affect the chances of developing it. Chronic inflammation is a mutagen factor confirmed in the carcinogenesis of various tumor. Inhalation injuries cause histopathologic damage to laryngeal mucosa and inflammation change. This long term inflammation may leads to the development of dysplasia and malignant transformation. Recently, we experienced a case of malignant transformation of laryngeal mucosa after inhalation injury patient 25 years ago. Herein, we reported this rare case and review the relevant literature.

The laryngeal carcinoma is the most frequent malignant tumor in the E.N.T. field. In the surgical treatment of laryngeal carcinoma, in 1873, Billroth performed the first total laryngectomy, and in 1863, H. B. Sands performed the first partial laryngectomy. Recently general advances (antibiotic therapy, blood trasfusion, and safer anesthesia) result in the improvement of postoperative prognosis. Because the laryngeal lymphatic system has the characteristic compartmentation, this serves the anatomic basis for performing the partial laryngectomy. Although the indications of partial laryngectomy are different from that of total laryngectomy, the partial laryngectomy has the advantage of not only removal of all malignant disease, but also maximum preservation of respiratory, phonatory, and sphincteric function of the larynx. In the latest, surgical treatment decreased the frequency of recurrence, and also increased the 5 year survival rate with combination of the chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The authors have experienced 8 cases of partial laryngectomy for laryngeal carcinoma at the department of otolaryngology, Korea University Hospital from 1980 to 1982. Among the total 8 cases, 2 cases were involved only in the epiglottis, 2 cases in the anterior 1/3 of both vocal cords with ant. comissure, 2 cases in the middle 1/3 of Lt. vocal cord, 1 case in the anterior 1/3 of Rt. vocal cord with ant. comissure, and another 1 case in the Rt. ventrical. So authors report these cases with review of the literature.

Myxoma is an uncertain mesenchymal cell origin, characterized by irregular round, stellate or spindle cells surrounded by the matrix containing abundant mucoid material and scant vascularity. Their occurrence in descending order of frequency is in the heart, subcutaneous tissue, bone and genitourinary tract. In the head and neck region, the most predilection sites are mandible and maxilla(more than 80%). Laryngeal myxoma is extremely rare：only 5 cases have been reported in the English literature. We report a rare case of laryngeal myxoma. A 60-year-old man with hoarseness visited the out-patient department. The mass was located between the vocal fold and the vocal ligament, filling with the left laryngeal ventricle. We planned the laryngo-microsurgery and successfully excised using $CO_2$ laser. The histopathologic finding revealed the myxoma. After 18 months of surgery, there is no evidence of recurrence and mucosal scarring in the vocal fold. This report is the first case of laryngeal myxoma involving the laryngeal ventricle and the true vocal cord together.

The incidence of malignant schwannoma in the head and neck is extremely rare. Most tumors appear as a rapidly expanding nonpainful mass and the symptoms are usually attributable to local expansion of the mass. About one half occurs in association with von Recklinghausen's disease. Wide surgical excision is generally recommended as a primary treatment. Recently, there has been a trend to include postoperative radiation therapy as a primary modality. Prognosis of head and neck malignant schwannoma has been reported as particularly poor, However, recent authors advocate that prolonged survival is possible after adequate therapy including postoperative radiation therapy. We present our experience with these tumors on very rare locations such as the ethmoid sinus and the larynx, with the review of literatures.

The extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma is uncommonly occurred in larynx, accounting for less than 1% of all laryngeal neoplasm. In general, the laryngeal lymphoma is appeared as submucosal mass without mucosal ulceration and is most commonly found in supraglottis. The primary laryngeal lymphoma constitute a diagnostic challenge because they are characterized by absence of clinical and gross differential criteria, compared with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We encountered a 74-year-old man with hoarseness and lump sensation in the throat. On direct laryngoscope, multiple ulcerative and exudative mass in glottis and supraglottic areas were observed. The patient was finally diagnosed as large B-cell lymphoma through the laryngeal microsurgery. He received radiation therapy and there is no evidence of recurrence. Although the laryngeal mass has superficial mucosal change, primary laryngeal lymphoma must be included in the differential diagnosis.
