Abstract

Introduction
 Haemangioma is a benign vascular tumor, of endothelial origin, that affects the head and neck region in 60% of cases. Laryngeal 
localization is rare.
 Case Presentation
 In the last 9-years, we observed three cases of laryngeal haemangioma, two females, and one male. All patients underwent to 
surgical excision. None of the three cases had intraoperative complications.
 Discussion
 Conclusion
 Keywords
 The elective treatment of laryngeal haemangiomas remains controversial. In our cases, we opted for laser excision and we noticed 
that the risk of haemorrhages was particularly low, without no post-surgery complications.
 We believe that due to the low morbidity and the fast-clinical recovery after treatment with definitive problem resolution, surgical 
treatment with laser CO2
 should be always considered for treatment of laryngeal haemangioma.
