Abstract

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia(IPEH), also known as Masson's tumor. It is a rare benign tumor of vascular origin, with rarity in the glottis. We report two cases, one of fifty four year old male, and another of thirty five year old female with complaints of voice change and fatigue for the last few months. On laryngoscopic examination, a reddish, smooth polypoidal mass was seen attached to the vocal cord. Both the patients underwent microlaryngeal surgery for excision. Histopathology revealed it as Masson’s tumor. Post surgery patients underwent speech therapy.
