Rhabdomyoma is a rare benign tumor formed from striated muscle tissue and according to the literature occurs quite rarely in the larynx. We present a case of a rhabdomyoma of the larynx in a 5-year-old boy with recurrent airway problems. An extracardiac juvenile rhabdomyoma is extremely rarely found in the field of otorhinolaryngology. In this report, we presented the diagnostic and therapeutic features of this tumor with the review of the literature.
