Granular cell tumours of the larynx are a very rare cause of persistent hoarse or husky voice in children. We report the case of a 13-year-old girl who presented with a three-year history of progressively huskier voice. We discuss the presentation, location and diagnosis of the tumour. In addition, we present a method of surgical treatment of the tumour, involving the hitherto unreported technique of laser excision and frozen section of the lesion.
