Abstract

Paragangliomas are a rare group of tumors composed of neuroendocrine cells. Head and neck are the uncommon sites of its origin and very few cases have been reported so far about its origin in larynx. Most paragangliomas arise from the right side of larynx. We are hereby reporting a rare case of left-sided laryngeal paraganglioma in a 55-year-old female.
