Abstract

The occurrence of plasma cell granuloma of the larynx appears to be unusual. Review of the literature revealed only two previously reported cases. We present an additional case of plasma cell granuloma of the larynx. The diagnosis was made by histological and immunohistochemical examinations. The tumour was successfully treated by radiation therapy.
