Introduction: Benign laryngeal lesions may have some uncommon presentations.
Aims: The aim was to identify unusual benign vocal cord lesions and review their management and follow up.
Material and methods: The records of the patients presenting with different benign vocal cord lesions were reviewed retrospectively. Confirmed cases of vocal cord paralysis and malignancy were excluded from the study. Nine cases were imcluded in this study. Clinical findings, investigation reports, treatment and outcome were analysed.
Results: Most of the patients were from 18 years to 52 years (66%). Most common presenting feature was hoarseness of voice (89%) followed by respiratory distress (33%) . Microlaryngeal surgeries were done in 7 patients (78%) and 2 patients (22%) were managed conservatively.
Conclusion: Diagnosis of benign vocal cord lesions may sometimes be difficult. Careful history, attention to the anatomy and the probable variations in presentation of the benign lesions of larynx, thorough clinical examination and different diagnostic tools are essential for satisfactory management. |
