Abstract
Thecase records and histology of 34 patients with vocal process granulomata were reviewed. The five patients presenting most recently with idiopathic vocal process granulomata were investigated by axial computerized tomography (CT). Increased density of the arytenoid cartilage on the side of the lesion was found in all five cases. It is suggested that this indicates cartilage ossification, secondary to periochondritis. This perichondritis, playing either a primary or a secondary role in granuloma development, may explain the annoying tendency of vocal fold granulomata to recur after excision.Keywords
