Benign laryngeal lesions represent a diverse set of pathologies whose clinical presentation may range from no symptoms to dyspnea and/or dysphonia. Flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy and videolaryngostroboscopy are important in distinguishingdifferent types of lesions, and management and treatment are dependent on the identification of these lesions, as they have different etiologies. Some lesions such as vocal fold nodules and polyps are primarily phonotraumatic and may benefit fromspeech therapy and vocal hygiene as initial approaches. Vocal fold cysts and benign tumors may benefit from microlaryngeal approaches, while capillary ectasias, polypoid corditis, laryngoceles, saccular cysts, and papilloma may benefit from laser therapy. Vocal fold granulomas may arise from various etiologies such as intubation, traumatic behaviors, or reflux. Polypoid corditis arises from smoking. This review is intended to provide an overview of the variety of lesions that encompass non-malignant laryngeal lesions that is both suitable for junior and senior residents.

ABSTRACT A two-year prospective study was conducted from June 2008 to May 2010. A total of 80 patients with benign laryngeal lesions were included in the study based on symptoms, such as hoarseness of voice, foreign body sensation, vocal fatigue, dyspnea and cough and with positive clinical findings on indirect laryngoscopy. Diagnostic and therapeutic laryngoscopic and microlarygoscopic procedures were employed. Vocal cord polyps were observed to be the commonest type of lesions. Out of the 80 patients in the study group, 40% patients got complete relief with voice rest and vocal rehabilitation; 60% patients required surgery, which included endoscopic/microlarygoscopic endolaryngeal surgery and external approaches. There was no recurrence in cases of vocal polyps and nodules during the period of observation. Endolaryngeal surgery and voice rest offer a cost-effective, useful and safe method for the management of benign laryngeal lesions. With the inclusion of lasers, they can be more precisely operated. As such, the standard treatment of choice in all types of benign tumors of the larynx should consist of a triad of approach by microlaryngeal surgery (either microscopic or endoscopic, with or without use of lasers), voice rest and vocal rehabilitation.

Background: The recent introduction of 445 nm blue laser to office-based laryngology presents potential advantages. These include a desirable combination of cutting and photoangiolytic qualities and a lightweight, shock-resistant design. Despite its increasing use, current evidence is limited to experimental data and case reports. Objectives: The authors present a case series and overview of office blue laser transnasal flexible laser surgery (TNFLS), considering indications, patient selection, safety, technique, and surgical outcomes. We also review the safety and relevance of TNFLS to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Methods: Retrospective case series and narrative review. Our primary outcome measure was preoperative and postoperative Voice Handicap Index (VHI-10) score. Complications were documented by nature and severity. Results: Thirty-six cases of office blue laser TNFLS were performed. A statistically significant improvement in VHI-10 score was demonstrated in cases of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) and benign laryngeal lesions causing dysphonia ( P < 0.01 and 0.045). Blue laser also proved effective in assisting office biopsy procedures. A minor and self-limiting complication was reported. Conclusions: Office blue laser TNFLS is safe and effective in the treatment of RRP and a range of benign laryngeal lesions. Future research should compare the efficacy and safety of blue laser with potassium titanyl phosphate laser in office-based treatment of these conditions. Further assessment of the cutting qualities of blue laser, initially in the theater environment, is necessary to refine our understanding of future applications.

Background: In ENT clinics, benign lesions of the larynx are fairly normal. It is not always simple to have a clinical-histological link, but a correct diagnosis is of the utmost importance. The purpose of the present study was to study the clinical profile of benign lesions of the larynx and histopathological trends. Material and Methods: With indirect laryngoscopy or video laryngoscopy, a total of 100 patients clinically diagnosed as cases of benign laryngeal lesion were examined. Under local or general anaesthesia, direct laryngoscopy was performed. The lesion biopsy was sent for histopathological research. Results: Most of the patients were between 21-30 years old, i.e. 38%. Males were more generally affected (62 percent) than females. The principal concern in (84 percent) of cases was hoarseness or change of speech. In 56 per cent of cases, verbal abuse has been shown to be a predisposing factor. The most common clinical diagnosis was vocal cord nodule in 34 percent of cases, followed by vocal cord polyp in 22 percent of cases. Conclusion: The nodules of the vocal cord are the most common benign laryngeal lesions, causing speech hoarseness as the main complaint. The ENT diagnosis and the pathological diagnosis of benign laryngeal lesions were strongly associated. Keywords: Larynx, benign lesions, hoarseness of voice, histopathology.

Abstract Introduction Inspiratory maneuver corresponds to a simple method used during videolaryngoscopy to increase characterizations of laryngeal findings, through the movement of the vocal fold cover and exposure of the ligament, facilitating its evaluation. Objective To evaluate the increase in diagnosis of benign laryngeal lesions from the usage of inspiratory maneuvers during videolaryngoscopy in patients with or without vocal complaints. Methods A cross-sectional study performed from March 1 to July 1, 2018, in the Laryngology sector of a tertiary hospital. The age of the patients varied from 18 to 60 years old. They were divided into two groups, symptomatic and asymptomatic vocals, and evaluated through videolaryngoscopy together with inspiratory maneuvers. The exams were recorded and later evaluated by three trained laryngologists who determined the laryngeal lesions before and after the inspiratory maneuver. Results There were 60 patients in this sample, 41 of which were vocal symptomatic and 19 asymptomatic. The majority was female and the main complaint was about dysphonia. Before the inspiratory maneuver, the most observed lesions in both groups were chronic laryngitis, followed by vascular dysgenesis. After the inspiratory maneuver, sulcus vocalis was the most frequent additional finding. Conclusion With the inspiratory maneuver, it was possible to increase the identification of structural lesions in the vocal fold, and the most frequent lesion in patients with or without vocal complaints was sulcus vocalis.
