Description
Multiple prolegomena's of the head and neck are rare conditions. Carotid prolegomena's are most common multiple prolegomena's. Laryngeal prolegomena's are very rare neuroendocrine tumors and usually are seen as symptomatic solitary lesions. We present multimodality imaging findings of incidentally detected laryngeal paraganglioma in a woman with synchronous carotid body paraganglioma and positive family history. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of laryngeal and carotid body prolegomena's in a patient with positive family history. Radiologists should keep in mind that prolegomena's may occur in various locations as multiple tumors.
