Abstract

A case of metastatic laryngeal paraganglioma is presented. We have reviewed the current world literature on this entity and thereby identified two apparently distinct types of this rare lesion (type I and type II).

The histopathological features are unhelpful in discriminating these two types and this is instead based on clinicoepidemiological differences. The latter are annotated and discussed with respect to prognosis and management. A true estimate of the frequence of type II (potentially malignant) awaits the utilization of the recent improvements in diagnostic. techniques.
