A Case of Pyogenic Granuloma of Vocal Cords
초록
Pyogenic granuloma is very uncommon disease. It is a benign, elevated, and capillary-rich lesion occupying on the skin and mucous membranes, and is a reactive lesion, an overgrowth of granulation tissue. And this lesion may grow rapidly and can recur frequently. Pyogenic granuloma usually occurs on the lip, tongue, oral mucosa, and nasal mucosa. But, pyogenic granuloma of vocal cords is very rare. Recently, we experienced a case of pyogenic granuloma of a 48-year-old man who had been presented with hoarseness for 3 months. He was diagnosed pyogenic granuloma after laryngeal microscopic surgery. So we report this rare case with review of literatures.
