OBJECTIVES: Capillary hemangioma isolated to the free edge of the vocal fold is a rare clinical finding. We see many young patients, mostly infants under a year, who are having surgical intervention for laryngeal hemangiomas. A rapid proliferative phase occurs during the first 9 to 12 months of life; this followed by an involution phase that may be completed by 3 to 5 years of age, but can last up to 12 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We report the case of a 15-year-old boy who had hoarseness for a two-year related to a laryngeal mass which growth pattern was unknown. RESULTS: On endoscopic examination a polypoid mass, which was diagnosed as a capillary hemangioma later, appeared on the left vocal fold. The lesion was excised with cold-knife instrumentation by using mini-flap technique. CONCLUSION: The clinical and histopathological features and therapeutic options are discussed.
