Giant cell tumours (GCTs) are benign tumours commonly found in the long bones. Rarely, they may occur in the larynx, often resulting in hoarseness and anterior neck swelling. Since Wessely reported the first case of laryngeal GCT in 1940, 35 cases have been identified. Herein, we present a case of a 53-year-old male with GCT of the larynx that showed T 1 and T 2 hypointense signal on MRI, presumably owing to abundant haemosiderin deposition. We also discuss the imaging findings of CT and 18F-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scans, as well as the pathological correlation.
