Abstract

Granular cell tumors (GCT), also known as Abrikossoff tumors, are rare tumors found largely in children, with few reports of laryngo-tracheal involvement. Two childhood cases of laryngo-tracheal GCT are reported here, of which one case had multifocal lesions. The histopathological features and the therapeutic management of GCT are also discussed.
