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 had one case of Juvenile papillomatosis presenting with dyspnoea and hoarseness. MLS was done and papilloma was exercised. On follow up after 6 months no recurrence was seen. [jemds.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]
Multiple biopsies were possible for each case presented in this survey. [hindawi.com]

Hoarseness of voice is present in all benign laryngeal lesions. Vocal abuse and smoking are the most common causative factors. Key words: Benign, larynx, voice, vocal nodule, organic vocal disorder [scopemed.org]
In our study, hoarseness of voice, cough, foreign body sensation and throat pain proved to be the commonest symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.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]

Impulsivity
The structure of the larynx is complex, with many different tissues, including mucosa, cartilage (ossified or non-ossified), muscle, fat, and air in close proximity, and various physiological movements, including swallowing, breathing, speaking, and impulses [journals.plos.org]
Workup
Case History A 65-year-old woman was referred from an outside hospital for interarytenoid swelling seen on neck CT that was performed as part of a workup for several years of hoarseness and dysphagia. [ajronline.org]
Patients (children and adults) without symptoms of reflux prior to treatment and those with a negative reflux workup should be treated in the peri-operative period. [dnbhelp.wordpress.com]

Introduction Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, a thermally dimorphic fungus and is generally found in rural workers in endemic areas of Latin America. [academic.oup.com]
Treatment
They also reported that the vocal fold appearance returned to normal 3-4 weeks following treatment. [laryngologyandvoice.org]
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]
Objective: To analyze the clinicopathological profiles of the study group of patients and the outcome after treatment. [scopemed.org]
Therefore, we believe that surgeon’s experience for patient selection is by far the most important factor for treatment success. [jkslms.or.kr]

Abstract Objective A climical study was undertaken to analyze the age, sex distribution and symptomatology, sites of involvement and the prognosis of the common types of benign lesions of larynx. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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 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]
