Abstract
The authors present the report of the first ever case of angiomyolipoma arising in the larynx. The tumor was found in a 61-year-old man and was resected through laryngofissure. Histopathologic examination of the tumor revealed numerous smooth muscle cells, mature adipose tissue and numerous thin and large irregular vessels. Both histological and immunohistochemical findings were typical for tumors of the mucocutaneous angiomyolipoma group.
