Abstract:
The laryngeal granuloma (LG) is non-neoplastic lesion that mainly develops in the posterior vocal folds. It is welknown that mis- or overuse of voice, habitual coughing, and endotracheal intubation can become the cause of LG. The laryngopharyngeal reflux also comes into the spotlight as an etiologic factor. Although LG has a tendency to recur easily, it is not a premalignant lesion. The co-existence with granuloma and laryngeal cancer has not been reported earlier. Recently, we encountered a 72-year-old man with a posterior glottic mass, which was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma coexisting with granuloma. To our knowledge, this is a first report on two coexisting carcinomas in the glottis.
