Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a common disorder resulting in tumors on nerve tissue. It rarely affects the larynx and even rarer is an isolated laryngeal neurofibroma. Literature reveals <30 cases of laryngeal NF since its first description in 1950, and vocal cord manifestations without systemic features of NF are still rarer. Most of the cases were in children or associated with NF-1. Here, we present the case of a middle-aged gentleman with isolated neurofibroma of the vocal cord.
