<p class="abstract">Teratomas are embryonal neoplasm arises from totipotent germ cells. They are having tissues from all the three blastodermic layers. There are various locations of congenital teratoma. Naso-oropharyngeal site teratoma are either sessile or pedunculated. We describe a rare case of laryngeal teratoma in a five years old patient presented with change in voice and breathing difficulty. On flexible laryngoscopy, it appeared like supraglottic cyst but on CT scan it was confirmed as teratoma. Pre-operative tracheostomy and transoral carbon dioxide laser assisted excision done. Histopathological examination showed osteoid trabeculae, chondroid tissue with loose myxoid islands and adipose tissue. No recurrence of tumor on 18 months follow-up. This is the first case report of pediatric larynx teratoma reported in present century.</p>

Angioleiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle and vessel tumor; laryngeal localization is extremely rare with only 24 cases described in the literature; moreover, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of laryngeal mass. Endoscopic complete surgical excision with dissection along capsule is now considered the gold-standard treatment for small and well-circumscribed laryngeal angioleiomyoma. We present a case of laryngeal angioleiomyoma successfully treated with carbon dioxide laser technology which resulted in a bleeding reduction and adequate hemostasis with less tissue damage and good functional outcome.

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.

Background: Amyloidosis refers to a group of depositional diseases that are classified into two main types: systemic and localized. Large nodules of localized cutaneous amyloidosis of the nasal ala and surrounding skin are rare and the treatment is often unsatisfactory. Objective: We report a case of rapidly enlarging, localized, nodular cutaneous amyloidosis of the nose and the surrounding skin with a brief review of the current literature regarding treatment of this rare disease. Conclusion: Nodular amyloidosis can be treated successfully with cold steel excision in combination with carbon dioxide laser. Close followup of these patients is warranted, as nodular amyloidosis may be the precursor to systemic amyloidosis.
