Granulomatous disease of the larynx.
Granulomatous diseases of the larynx are discussed with specific emphasis on lesions that mimic laryngeal cancer. Nonspecific granulomatous reactions may occur from episodes of laryngitis, endotracheal intubation, or chronic abuse of the vocal cords. Specific causes are most often of an infectious nature and include tuberculosis, syphilis, and fungal infections. Diagnosis and treatment of these entities are also addressed.
