Cystic lesions of larynx Saccular cyst: obstruction to the orifice of cyst the saccule causes retention of secretions and distention of the saccule which presents as cyst in the laryngeal ventricle. [slideshare.net]
It presents as skin lesions; however, it can affect the eyes and upper aerodigestive system as well. We report a rare case of Bullous pemphigoid that had a laryngeal extension presenting with odynophagia. [omicsonline.org]
We present our unusual case of IMT in a 12-year-old Malay girl who presented to us with hoarseness with no airway issues. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]
Most patients with benign laryngeal disorders present with dysphonia. These disorders are particularly prevalent in individuals who use their voices professionally. [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]
Entire Body System
- Weight Loss
Symptoms Symptoms can include a hoarse voice, difficulty swallowing, weight loss and a cough that doesn't go away. Stages, types and grades The stage, type and grade of your cancer helps your doctor decide which treatment you need. [cancerresearchuk.org]
Symptoms of these cancers may include: A sore throat that does not go away Constant coughing Pain when swallowing Trouble swallowing Ear pain Trouble breathing Weight loss A lump or mass in the neck (due to spread of the cancer to nearby lymph nodes) [cancer.org]
Chemotherapy can lead to potent side effects, such as nausea, weight loss, and hair loss. Prevention The best way to avoid cancer of the larynx is to avoid smoking or drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. Both have strong links to the disease. [medicalnewstoday.com]
loss Fatigue If you are concerned about any changes you experience, please talk with a doctor and/or dentist, especially if these changes don’t go away or get worse. [cancer.net]
loss, or fatigue (extreme tiredness). [nhs.uk]
- Hodgkin Lymphoma
Other malignant considerations include adenoid cystic carcinoma (most commonly subglottic with cartilaginous lysis) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which may be multifocal [4, 5]. [ajronline.org]
Lymphoma (2) On the left images of a 67-year old woman who had a history of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. She had recently noticed a swelling on the left side of the neck. [radiologyassistant.nl]
It is worth noting that thymic cysts can manifest themselves in association with a number of other conditions - eg, thyrotoxicosis, aplastic anaemia, Down's syndrome and Hodgkin's lymphoma. [patient.info]

- Hoarseness
He feels that there is constant hoarseness. He has no difficulty breathing. [app1.unmc.edu]
Vocal Cord Evaluation If your child has persistent or worsening hoarseness, they need an evaluation. [stanfordchildrens.org]
They remain asymptomatic if small, or cause hoarseness, cough, throat pain and dyspnoea if large. Sometimes a intracordal cyst may occur on true cords. It is similar to epidermoid inclusion cyst 16. Epidermoid inclusion cyst 17. [slideshare.net]

In our study, hoarseness of voice, cough, foreign body sensation and throat pain proved to be the commonest symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Stridor
The main symptom of this pathology is stridor at birth that can conceal laryngomalacia or congenital vocal cord paralysis, which appear with stridor in the first weeks of life 11. [scielo.org.co]
Mild forms may present with stridor, coughing and cyanotic episodes precipitated by feeding. More extensive clefts are associated with a high mortality rate. [patient.info]
Haemangioma• Infantile haemangioma involves subglottic area and presents with stridor in first six months of life, about 50% of such children have haemangioma elsewhere in the body, particularly in the head and neck• Tend to involute spontaneously but [slideshare.net]
Unfortunately, not all patients can tolerate the laryngoscope especially those with a sensitive gag reflex, patients with limit of jaw or neck mobility or patients suffering from stridor. It is also difficult in most infants and children. [clinicaltrials.gov]
Patients can have laryngeal stridor or dyspnea 2. The lesions can cause significant respiratory obstruction, and even death, if not properly treated. [radiopaedia.org]
- Laryngeal Disease
Laryngeal papilloma, granuloma, and airway stenosis are the most frequently recurred disease among benign laryngeal lesion, and this is relevant in laryngeal microsurgery under general anesthesia. [jkslms.or.kr]
Different methods were used successfully for the diagnosis of many laryngeal diseases. [clinicaltrials.gov]
The vocal cords showed changes in all PBM patients with laryngeal lesions already treated, and in four of five patients with active laryngeal disease. The most frequent lesion was a fibrous thickening of the vocal cords. [scielo.br]
In 4% and 31%, laryngeal disease was underdiagnosed and overdiagnosed, respectively. In this group, Kappa statistics resulted in Kappa 0.32 ( ). Conclusion. [hindawi.com]
- Hemoptysis
Symptoms of benign laryngeal tumors include hoarseness, breathy voice, dyspnea, aspiration, dysphagia, otalgia (ear pain), and hemoptysis. [msdmanuals.com]
Glottic tumors can also cause hemoptysis and airway compromise if the tumors are large. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Diagnosis Presenting symptoms of laryngeal trauma may include a change in the quality of voice, pain, dyspnea, Subcutaneous emphysema, dysphagia, odynophagia, hemoptysis and/or stridor. [dnbhelp.wordpress.com]

(A) The arrow designates the sites of biopsy attempts from a deeply ulcerated mass. Obvious SCC was seen at biopsy from the base. (B) Cytokeratin AE1/AE3 was positive in spindle cells, immediately dropping for the surface carcinoma. [surgpath.theclinics.com]

Laryngeal keratosis seen in only 4.2% of nonsmokers (Muller 1980) 2. [medicine.uiowa.edu]
Keratosis of the larynx is synonymously used with simple hyperplasia and squamous hyperplasia [56]. Singers and other occupations that lead to an individual to use his/her voice excessively and cigarette smokers are at risk of keratosis. [intechopen.com]
The mean follow-up in this study was around 3 years with a 78% reduction in keratosis. There were no side effects reported. [laryngologyandvoice.org]
- Hyperkeratosis
His previous diagnoses have been hyperkeratosis. Physical Findings: The patient has white plaques that are thickened in irregular parts of the vocal cords. [app1.unmc.edu]
But, it is known that within a single probe various entities can be found ranging from hyperplasia, inflammation, hyperkeratosis, dysplasia, and carcinoma in situ to invasive carcinoma. [hindawi.com]

Treatment
Thirty post-treatment patients were submitted to follow-up, 15 with pulmonary disease and 15 with larynx involvement. Five PBM patients with laryngeal lesions were evaluated at the beginning and after four months of anti-fungal treatment. [scielo.br]
Smooth leukoplakia could be managed with nonsurgical treatment; more aggressive treatments should be considered for rough leukoplakia. 1. [hindawi.com]
They also reported that the vocal fold appearance returned to normal 3-4 weeks following treatment. [laryngologyandvoice.org]
Surgery, radiation, or multiple-modality treatment can accomplish the management of this disease. Chemotherapy is used as an induction agent in some treatment protocols. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Amyloidosis of larynx• Mostly affects men aged between 50- 70 years• Tumour presents as smooth plaque or a pedunculated mass• Diagnosis is only on histology• Treatment is endoscopic surgical excision 15. [slideshare.net]

Introduction Functional outcome and prognosis of laryngeal cancer depend on early diagnosis. Glottic lesions produce very early hoarseness. [hindawi.com]
In general, the higher the stage (both overall and within each category) the poorer the prognosis. Small glottic cancers have better prognosis than supraglottic ones. [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]

Etiology Vocal cord paralysis may result from lesions at the nucleus ambiguus, its supranuclear tracts, the main trunk of the vagus, or the recurrent laryngeal nerves. [msdmanuals.com]
Etiology and pathogenesis Lymphangiomas originate from lymphatic vessel malformations. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology of this lesion remains largely unknown. Bilateral cysts are rare but have been seen. Treatment generally involves both surgical intervention and pre- and post-surgical voice therapy. [ceenta.com]
Granulomas can be divided according to their etiology into two main subtypes: spontaneous granulomas, also known as contact granulomas, and iatrogenic granulomas15. [nature.com]
