{Abstract}: Angiofibroma is a non-encapsulated, highly vascular tumor that usually originates in the nasopharynx. Laryngeal cases of extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma (ENA) are a very rare pathology, especially in children. Only eight ENA laryngeal cases have been described in the literature, and only one of them is a pediatric case. In this report we present an 11-year-old child with epiglottic ENA resected with transoral endoscopic ultrasonic surgery (TOUSS) with review of the literature. Because of reccurrence after five months he underwent re-excision with CO2 laser. Recurrences in ENA are infrequent, but as demonstrated in our case, close endoscopic follow-up is mandatory in this location. Endoscopic hemostatic procedures like TOUSS and CO2 laser ensure bloodless surgery for the management of this type of vascular laryngeal tumors.
