Granular cell tumors are benign subcutaneous or submucosal lesions of neurogenic origin. In this case study one patient was diagnosed and treated successfully with complete surgical resection of a laryngeal granular cell tumor that was originated from the left arytenoid region that very rare location. There is no evidence of recurrence 2 years after surgery. Granular cell tumors should be considered in the differential diagnosis of laryngeal masses, particularly in the posterior glottis.
