title: Oncocytic hyperplasia of the larynx.
abstract: Oncocytic hyperplasia of the larynx is rare. The lesion most commonly arises from the false vocal chord. A distinction arises between oncocytomas of the salivary glands which are considered to be neoplasms and extrasalivary oncocytic lesions which are secondary to hyperplasia. Oncocytic lesions of the larynx are benign and treatment is excision. They may be multiple, but recurrences are rare.
