Whether benign or malignant, laryngeal and neck masses may involve the upper airway and obstruct breathing. While surgically-resectable malignancies are generally extirpated with adequate margins of normal tissue, benign lesions are usually excised conservatively. However, even benign masses may behave malignantly, necessitating more aggressive surgical resection. We present one such case.
