Abstract
|
|
|
|
Vocal nodule is a common otolaryngological disease characterized by hoarseness and vocal fatigue. It occurs as discrete, 3-5 mm, excrescence at the junction of the anterior and middle third of the vocal folds in general. We report a recently encountered case of giant vocal nodule arising from the left vocal cord. The nodule was 3X3 cm in diametera and was found in a 43 years old male patient. The tumor mass was sucessfully removed by microlaryngeal surgery with CO2laser under general anesthesia. Immunohisto-chemical staining proved that it was a vocal nodule.
