Supports margin-inclusive excision for laryngeal myxoma to limit recurrence; leaves open need for larger series to define standards.
Case Report (n=1)
Laryngeal myxoma is a rare benign tumor that requires excision with a margin of normal tissue to prevent local recurrence.
Sena et al. (1991) conducted a case report in Laryngeal myxoma (n=1). Excision with a margin of normal tissue was evaluated. A rare case of laryngeal myxoma in a 70-year-old man highlights that excision should include a margin of normal tissue to prevent local recurrence.
