Abstract

Ulcerative vocal fold lesions occupy the vibratory margins of the musculomembranous portion of the vocal folds and cause dysphonia. Symptoms may exist for several weeks to months before improvement occurs. Lesions observed on strobovideolaryngoscopy may resemble malignant leukoplakia and tempt physicians to obtain biopsy. Biopsy can cause permanent dysphonia and should be performed only when necessary. Therefore, it is important to identify prolonged ulcerative laryngitis and provide appropriate management.
