leukoplakia/edema

A patient had hereditary angioneurotic edema coincident with systemic lupus erythematosus. This condition resulted in loss of hair, arthralgia, leukoplakia, collitis, and a nephrotic syndrome due to proliferative glomerulonephritis. The renal lesion was resistant to treatment with high-dose

Reinke's edema is a benign lesion of vocal fold affecting subepithelial space. This paper describes the histological features of Reinke's edema on the basis of an extensive number of cases (203 women and 58 men). In 10 cases the electron microscopic examination was performed. Edema of subepithelial

Oral leukoplakia (OL), a predominantly white change to the oral mucosa, is the most common potentially malignant lesion. Elimination of this condition, especially the high risk OL, is advisable, even necessary as an attempt to avoid malignant transformation. Here we presented three cases of OL

A leukoplakic lesion of the lip showing the histologic features of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis above solar elastosis was investigated by electron microscopy. The ultrastructural alterations observed in the upper epidermal layers corresponded in the main with those of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis in

Objective: To investigate the expression of marker proteins in vocal cord leukoplakia, and to find markers for the early stage of diagnosis and prognosis of precancerous lesions. Methods: The study included 119 cases, 68 cases of vocal cord leukoplakia (22 cases with epithelial simple hyperplasia,

BACKGROUND The comparatively evaluate the three surgical treatment modalities namely cryosurgery, diode and CO2 laser surgery in terms of healing outcomes on the day of surgery, first and second week post operatively and recurrence at the end of 18 months was assessed. METHODS Thirty selected

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between clinicopathological characteristics of vocal fold leukoplakia and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LRP). METHODS One hundred and thirty-eight patients with vocal leukoplakia who received laryngeal microsurgeries under suspension laryngoscope were recruited

Objective:To determine the significance of laryngopharyngeal reflux(LPR) in Reinke's edema. Method:Sixteen patients who have been diagnosed as Reinke's edema between February 2014 to June 2016 were included in this study. The control group included fifty vocal cord leukoplakia and early glottic

OBJECTIVE Vocal cord leukoplakia is a clinical diagnosis that comprises a spectrum of benignities, premalignancies, and malignancies. Accurate recordings of the visual characteristics of the affected area are important for communication between physicians and are helpful in further management. The

OBJECTIVE Laser surgery has shown to exhibit several advantages over scalpel for many procedures. Some of these advantages include hemostasis, decreased scarring, and ability to perform certain procedures without anaesthesia. It has been postulated that laser surgery results in less post-operative

A case of laryngeal histoplasmosis is reported. This laryngeal mycosis was diagnosed by histological identification of intracellular hyphae of Histoplasma capsulatum. Laryngoscopy revealed edema, erythema and leukoplakia of the righ vocal cord. Itrakonazole treatment was successful. The relevant

We conducted a pH-monitoring study to determine the prevalence of pathologic gastroesophageal reflux (GER+) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR+) in patients with resected benign true vocal fold lesions (TVFLs) and positive reflux finding score (RFS). We compared our findings with those of patients

The aim of this study was to understand current protocols for voice rest implemented by laryngologists immediately after phonomicrosurgery for benign vocal fold lesions. Cross-sectional survey. A 24-item survey was sent via electronic mail to laryngologists across the country to gather data on their

CONCLUSIONS Office-based 585 nm pulsed dye laser (PDL) surgery appeared to be safe and effective. It can be considered as a treatment option for office-based vocal polyp removal. OBJECTIVE A 585 nm PDL has been introduced to photocoagulate vascular lesions of the superficial layer of the lamina

In the cases of uncertainty, even if the patient has no complaints about his voice quality, sometimes, benign vocal fold mass lesions are removed to exclude malignancy with the risk of resultant dysphonia. Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) enables a specific visualization of vessel structures in the
