Laryngeal paragangliomas are rare neoplasms that originate in the neural crest cells of the laryngeal paraganglia. Although the vast majority of these tumors are benign, they exhibit different types of biologic behavior that require different treatment modalities. Therefore, differentiation among these tumors is extremely important. We report a rare case of laryngeal paraganglioma that presented as a transglottic lesion in a 68-year-old man. The atypical location of the tumor led to difficulties in diagnosis and management. To the best of our knowledge, this is only the third such case to be reported in the English-language literature.

- Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are uncommon in the head and neck, with laryngeal neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) being the most frequent, primarily affecting older men who smoke.
- Approximately 700 cases have been documented, and the incidence rate is around 0.23%, leading to challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to their vague symptoms.
- Treatment often combines surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, as illustrated by a case study of a 61-year-old female nonsmoker who received endoscopic excision and follow-up radiotherapy for supraglottic laryngeal NEC.
