Myxoma is a benign mesenchymal tumor and occurs rarely in the head and neck region. We report a case of a myxoma of the larynx in a 36-year-old woman. Her symptoms are gradually progressive hoarseness and diffi-culty of phonation. Endoscopic examination revealed a solid mass in the subglottic area of the anterior commissure. Phonosurgery performed with a microscope showed that the mass was encapsulated and located in the subglottic mucosa. This hard, elastic mass which measured 10 mm in diameter, was diagnosed as a myxoma. Although excision was microscopically incomplete, there is no evidence of recurrence macroscopically 13 months after the surgery and she remains asymptomatic.
