A Cross-Sectional Study on Histopathology of Laryngeal Lesions in a Tertiary Care Center

Laryngeal lesions can be benign, premalignant, or malignant. Patient history, clinical symptoms, and indirect laryngoscopy with a rigid or flexible fibre optic scope and stroboscopy can identify vocal nodules and polyps.

Description
Summary:Laryngeal lesions can be benign, premalignant, or malignant. Patient history, clinical symptoms, and indirect laryngoscopy with a rigid or flexible fibre optic scope and stroboscopy can identify vocal nodules and polyps. This study seeks to identify laryngeal lesion-related diseases and their clinical and histological presentations. A cross-sectional study included histological data from individuals who had laryngeal surgery for lesions between February 2022 and April 2023. 80 histopathology reports were examined for various patterns. In the 80 patients, laryngeal lesions were 1.17:1 between men and women. 37 lesions (46.25%) were non-neoplastic, while 43 (53.75%) were neoplastic. 18 patients (48.64%) had vocal cord polyp, the most common non-neoplastic lesion. 36 individuals (74.41%) had squamous cell carcinoma, the most common of the 43 neoplastic lesions. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common laryngeal lesion in our studies. Given the high occurrence of malignant neoplasms, all methods must be used to diagnose early. Histopathology determines the illness's treatment. This study examines laryngeal lesions such keratosis, pleomorphic adenoma, and papilloma histopathologically. This study will explain these lesions' morphology and pathophysiology. This study may improve laryngeal lesion diagnosis and treatment.
