Abstract Multiple etiological factors including gastroesophageal reflux, hyperfunctional voice use, and endotracheal intubation have been implicated in the development of posterior laryngeal ulcers and granulomas.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology Contact granulomas are usually pale, pedunculated masses found on the medial or superior edge of the vocal process of the arytenoid cartilage; however, they may also be deep red, lobulated, and sessile.[emedicine.medscape.com]
