Vocal Cord Melanosis: To Worry or Not to Worry?

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Laryngeal Melanosis is a rare entity with unclear significance: whether it is a premalignant lesion for squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx or a sign of mucosal melanoma. In the few reported cases in the literature, it is descried as localised/diffused brownish discoloration of the mucosal surface of the involved subsite of the larynx. We hereby report a raised localised laryngeal melanosis of the vocal cord with an initial histopathology report of dysplasia.
