Abstract
Hamartoma presenting in the larynx is a rare entity. The common presentation of such a lesion may include stridor, hoarseness of voice, choking sensation, dyspnea and in children, failure to thrive. It is a benign lesion and can be confused with other benign lesions like lipoma, fibroma, chondromas etc. Pathologically it consists of a mesodermal compartment and a granular compartment. Hamartomas mainly occur in pediatric age group. When it occurs in adults, males are more commonly affected than females. With very few cases reported so far, we present a case of laryngeal hamartoma presenting in a lady with progressive hoarseness of voice as a presenting feature.
