Chronic laryngitis, often linked to smoking, can lead to precancerous lesions. Early detection and treatment, including lifestyle changes and microsurgery, are crucial for managing this laryngeal inflammation.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Chronic laryngitis is a persistent inflammation of the laryngeal mucosa.
  • It is frequently triggered by irritative factors and specific etiologies.

Purpose:

  • To review the clinical presentation and therapeutic strategies for chronic laryngitis.
  • To highlight potential malignant transformations in chronic laryngitis.

Summary:

  • A retrospective study analyzed 25 patients with non-specific chronic laryngitis over 11 years.
  • High prevalence of laryngeal keratosis (88%) and dysplasia (44%) was observed.
  • Tobacco use was a significant factor in 72.7% of cases.
  • Five patients (20%) developed malignant changes during follow-up.

Impact:
