title: Benign laryngeal lesions - a clinicopathological study of eleven years and a case report of pleomorphic lipoma.
abstract: In a retrospective cohort study, conducted in Department of Oto-Rhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, M.LX Medical College, Allahabad from January 1989 to December 1999, 81 benign laryngeal lesions were evaluated. Majority (69, 85.2%) presented with hoarseness of voice and stridor was the presenting complaint in 12 ( 14.8%) cases. Vocal cord polyp (33, 40.7%) dominated the non-neoplastic group, while squamous papilloma (18, 22.4%) was the most common neoplastic lesion. Adult unset multiple papiUoma of unilateral vocal cord (4, 4.9%) was an unexpected finding in our series. A rare case of pleomorphic lipoma of larynx in a 68-year-old male patient along with its CT characteristics has been presented. Conservative microlaryngeal surgery offered the most satisfactory mode of treatment without any mortality and with minimal recurrence.
