Summary

A 3-month-old infant was referred to our hospital with stridor, respiratory distress, and nourishment difficulties. Laryngoscopy revealed a left-sided supraglottic polypoid lesion covered by normal appearing mucosa. The lesion was removed endoscopically and the postoperative course was brief and uneventful.
