Rhabdomyoma is an uncommon benign tumor, with the majority arising from cardiac muscle. Seventy to 90% of extracardiac rhabdomyomas are found in the head and neck region, usually within the upper aerodigestive tract. The case of a 7-month-old boy with an enlarging posterior triangle neck mass found to be fetal rhabdomyoma is presented. This location is quite rare for benign rhabdomyoma, with previous literature search showing overwhelming predilection for the upper aerodigestive tract.

Injuries to the larynx may have extracorporeal (external), or endolaryngeal (internal), causes and are here classified on the basis of traumatic mechanisms. External trauma may be due to the action of blunt force or sharp objects--also including ruptures. Internal injuries may occur as a result of endotracheal intubation (also for anesthesia), long-term intubation and mechanical ventilation, ingestion of foreign bodies, surgical or nonsurgical interventions. In some cases, laryngeal injuries may be difficult to diagnose and evaluate. If the patient survives the primary traumatic event and his vital functions are preserved and stable, a careful laryngoscopic exploration--where indicated also such imaging procedure as high-resolution CT, direct microlaryngoscopy and laryngometry--should be applied to establish the diagnosis and decide on appropriate treatment.
