Abstract

We report a rare case of angiomyolipoma (AML) of the larynx. AML belongs to the family of perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas). We review the literature on PEComas and describe differences in immunohistochemical findings between renal AML and AML in the head and neck region.

Keywords: PEComa; angiomyolipoma; larynx; perivascular epithelioid cell.
