Key result
Incomplete excision of laryngeal myxoma yields no recurrence and resolves symptoms at 18 months.
Why the study?
Laryngeal myxomas are rare benign mesenchymal tumours that require differentiation from common myxomatous degeneration in laryngeal polyps using strict pathological criteria.

May support incomplete excision for laryngeal myxoma if asymptomatic; leaves open recurrence risk and optimal follow-up in larger series.
Case Report (n=1)
Laryngeal myxomas can be managed with excision and may not recur macroscopically even if microscopically incomplete.
Hadley et al. (1994) conducted a case report in Laryngeal myxoma (n=1). Excision was evaluated on Recurrence and symptom status. Microscopically incomplete excision of a laryngeal myxoma in a 64-year-old male resulted in no macroscopic recurrence and asymptomatic status at 18 months.
