SUMMARY
Adult laryngeal hemangiomas are rare and uncommon. Hemangioma isolated to the free-edge
of vocal cord is very rare. We report five cases diagnosed at our voice clinic during
18 months-period from July 2016 to December 2017. All the five patients presented
with hoarseness and the laryngoscopy examination detected a pink mass at the vocal
edge with the histopathology indicating hemangioma. Direct laryngoscopy with laryngeal
carbon dioxide (CO2) laser microscopic surgery was performed uneventfully and no recurrence
was found. We suggest that Microscopic Laser Laryngoscopy (CO2) is the treatment option
of vocal fold hemangioma with no intraoperative massive bleeding.
