Özet
Laryngeal tumors may be benign, premalign, or malignant often presenting with progressive voice hoarseness and upper airway obstruction. Theoretically, these lesions can be seen at any age, though it is known that vocal fold nodules are mostly seen in young boys and middle-aged women; polyps are commonly seen in both males and females, especially in the 40-50 age bracket for [1], similarly premalignant lesions are mostly seen in older ages.
