CT findings in benign expansions of the larynx.
The CT findings in six patients with benign laryngeal expansions are reported. Although CT in laryngeal carcinomas has been extensively dealt with in the literature, little mention has been made of benign conditions. The CT appearances of expansions due to chondroma, tuberculosis, hypertrophic lingual tonsilla, fluid-filled laryngocele, aberrant thyroid adenoma, and chronic granulomatous inflammation are described.
