A newborn female infant with severe inspiratory stridor was found to have a laryngeal non-encapsulated hamartoma in the supraglottic area, medial to the hyoid bone and extending into the petiole of the epiglottis. Histologic examination revealed an extremely uncommon glandular hamartoma. Surgical management in the newborn period consisted of conservative endoscopic excision combined with open laryngofissure. The hamartoma was removed in the newborn period to avoid tracheostomy, because decanulation after tracheostomy in infants can be difficult.
