“…In our study, out of the 30 patients with vocal fold lesions, the most common lesion was vocal nodules (40%), whereas the second most common was vocal polyps, which is seen in about 33.33% of patients followed by hemorrhagic polyp (10%), fibroepithelial polyp (6.66%), Rinke's edema (3.33%), haemangioma (3.33%), and condyloma accuminata (3.33%). Our study correlates with Saha et al, who also found the largest subset comprised of vocal nodules, seen in about 60% of patients and the second most common pathology is vocal fold polyp seen in 20% of patients [11]. Siddapur et al also found that vocal nodules are the most common benign vocal fold lesions but with a lower incidence rate of 35% observed in their study [12].…”

A retrospective study was conducted to determine the incidence of various types of benign mucosal lesions of the larynx causing hoarseness and to review the role of demographic and etiological risk factors in relation to the benign mucosal lesions of the larynx. Patients with hoarseness presenting to the department of Otorhinolaryngology at our tertiary-care institute, from the month of January 2017 to June 2022 were evaluated by indirect video laryngoscopy followed by direct laryngoscopy with biopsy. A total of 30 patients with clinical evidence of a benign vocal cord lesion, above the age of 15 years were selected. A clinical and epidemiologic profile was formulated from the data obtained from these patients. Vocal nodules were the commonest type of benign lesions of the vocal fold, followed by vocal fold polyps. Overall, there was a slight male predominance with the maximum incidence in the age group 41-50 years. The most common risk factors were voice abuse and smoking and the less common were GERD, alcohol intake, fume exposure, and allergy. Lifestyle modifications like vocal hygiene, cessation of smoking, alcohol, and spicy food played an important role in significantly reducing the incidence of these benign vocal fold lesions.

Background: Disorders of the voice commonly affect the quality of life of the person. The objective of the study was to find out the incidence and features of disorders of vocal cords presented in the OPD with hoarseness of voice.Methods: A study comprising of 45 cases of hoarseness of voice is carried out in the department of otorhinolaryngology in SNMC Bagalkot between January 2018 to June 2019 to evaluate the disorders of change in voice. A total of 45 patients came to OPD and indirect laryngoscopy was done to the patient and confirmed with flexible fibreoptic examination. Results: Age of patients ranges between 8-75 years. There was a slight male predominance seen in the study. Housewives (29%) constitutes single largest group followed by farmers (22%), teachers and labourers. Duration ranges from 6 days to 15 years with 64% patients present with more than 3 months of duration. Voice abuse constitutes single largest precipitating factors followed by tobacco and smoking along with gastrolaryngeal reflex. 78% have single habits and 22% have multiple habits.Conclusions: Maximum no of patients were of infectious group followed by benign lesions and laryngeal palsy.
