Laser Excision

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a benign neoplasm of intermediate biologic potential. It rarely occurs in the larynx, and it has not been previously reported in the epiglottis. We treated a 66-year-old woman who presented with progressive dysphonia and a mass on her suprahyoid epiglottis. The tumor was completely excised with a CO2 laser; no adjuvant therapy was administered. Histopathology revealed that the mass was an IMT. No evidence of recurrence was noted after 6 months of follow-up. We present what we believe is the first case of an epiglottic IMT to be reported in the literature, and we propose CO2 laser excision without adjuvant therapy as an acceptable treatment.

Laser Excision

The carbon dioxide laser was used to treat a group of pediatric patients with benign lesions of the upper aerodigestive tract exclusive of the larynx Prior to development of the CO2 laser, excision of these lesions by conventional means often resulted in incomplete removal, significant bleeding, and postoperative edema resulting in airway obstruction. The CO2 laser, with its unique properties of precise excision, hemostatic effect and minimal postoperative edema, has become the instrument of choice in the removal of these lesions.

Frequent Problem

The problem of accumulation of granulation tissue and scar at the superior edge of the tracheostoma is a frequent problem in the management of chronic tracheotomy patients. This traditionally has been managed by cup forceps excision or by eversion through the tracheostoma with a skin hook and blind resection. These methods often lead to hemorrhage, and incomplete removal in a bloody field. We have used the carbon dioxide laser via a bronchoscope for ablation of the granulation tissue and/or scar at the stomal edge and at the tracheotomy tube proximal tip without morbidity in 13 pediatric cases. With experience, removal with the laser often proceeds more quickly than conventional methods. The scar and granulation tissue are excised under direct vision with minimal hemorrhage. We believe this to be a reasonable alternative in the management of this recurring problem.
