Abstract

Fibroma is a benign tumor showing fibroblasts and collagen fibres. Fibroma in the larynx is a rare entity. We report a case of 38 years male with fibroma of epiglottis. The patient presented with change in voice and difficulty in breathing. On indirect laryngoscopy examination, there was smooth, pinkish, globular shaped mass arising from laryngeal surface of the epiglottis. The mass was excised perorally.
