Contribution by tomodensitometry to the understanding and diagnosis of benign non-epithelial endolaryngeal tumours. In connection with a case of chondroma, one of lipoma and one of rhabdomyoma.
The authors report on 3 cases of submucosal, non-epithelial tumour of the larynx: one chondroma, one lipoma and rhabdomyoma. A review of the literature is presented. These three cases have benefited by radiological imagery proper to tomodensitometry. This technique is certainly the preferential radiological examination, since it enables an appraisal to be made of the interrelationship of the tumour and its surrounding structures. It gives a probability diagnosis through comparative measurement of the tumorous density.
