Background: Schwannoma is a benign nerve tumor whose laryngeal location is very rare, diagnosis is relatively easy as it presented as benign tumor. However, recurrence after surgery happens quite often. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 50-year-old male patient with chronic dysphonia, nasofibroscopy examination showed a pedunculated mass of the left arytenoid suggesting a benign tumor. The patient underwent CO2 laser resection of the tumor under general anaesthesia on direct laryngoscopy. Histopathology examination revealed a schwannoma. Two years later, the patient is symptom-free with no evidence of recurrence on laryngeal endoscopy. Conclusion: The purpose of the present case report is to highlight this rare entity and to emphasize technical considerations in order to allow a perfect removal of the disease and to avoid recurrence.
