Granular cell tumour is a rare benign neoplasm, that can affect many parts of the body, as single or multiple lesions. It is more common in black people and females. Typically it occurs between the fourth and fifth decades of life, with the median age for the laryngeal variety as 36 years. About 30 to 50 per cent occur in the tongue and 30 per cent in the skin. A case of granular cell tumour of the larynx is reported in an eight-year-old girl, presenting with hoarseness of voice. She was successfully treated with local excision of the tumour. This tumour is rare in the larynx where it is more common in males than females although granular cell tumours are found more frequently in females generally. For these reasons the authors suspect that their case, of a laryngeal granular cell tumour occurring in an eight-year-old girl might be the youngest to be reported.
