The presence of suprastomal granulomas after tracheotomy is a common occurrence. Under most circumstances, this never becomes clinically relevant. However, in the pediatric population, granulomas can on occasion cause partial or complete airway obstruction after decannulation. This report describes 2 cases of giant suprastomal granulomas that presented as laryngeal masses. These cases stress the indications for routine endoscopic evaluation in patients with long-term tracheotomies. Also, the treatment of extensive suprastomal granulomas requires open excision, which differs from the endoscopic approach recommended for smaller granulomas.
