Abstract
Background: Benign lesion of the larynx are fairly common in ENT clinics. A clinical-histological correlation is not always easy, but an accurate diagnosis is of the utmost importance.The aim of the present study was to study the clinical profile and histopathological patterns of benign lesions of the larynx. Material and Methods: A total of 50 patients clinically diagnosed as cases of benign lesion of larynx were examined with indirect laryngoscopy or video laryngoscopy. The direct laryngoscopy was done under local or general anaesthesia. The biopsy from the lesionwas sent for histopathological examination. Results: Most of the patients i.e., 19 (38%) were between 21-30 years of age. Males 31 (62%) were more commonly affected than females. Hoarseness or change in voice was the chief complaint in 42 (84%) of cases. Vocal abuse was found to be predisposing factor in28 (56%) cases. Vocal cord nodule was the commonest clinical diagnosis in 17 (34%) of cases followed by vocal cord polyp in 11 (22%) cases. Conclusion: The vocal cord nodules are the commonest benign laryngeal lesions producinghoarseness in voice as the chief complaint. There was a high correlation between the ENT diagnosis and pathological diagnosis of benign lesions of larynx.
