Vocal cord polyps: biochemical and histologic evaluation.

B M Steinberg, A L Abramson, L B Kahn

    The Laryngoscope
    |November 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Vocal cord polyps show varied epithelium and cytokeratin profiles. Histology correlates with keratinization and high molecular weight cytokeratins, indicating diverse benign lesions.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Cell Biology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Vocal cord polyps present with diverse epithelial changes.
    • The molecular basis of these variations is not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the histology and cytokeratin profiles of vocal cord polyps.
    • To correlate epithelial changes with cytokeratin expression patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • Histological examination of 11 vocal cord polyps.
    • Cytokeratin analysis using one-dimensional SDS-acrylamide gel electrophoresis.
    • Determination of cytokeratin molecular weights.

    Main Results:

    • Significant heterogeneity in cytokeratin composition was observed among polyps.
    • A correlation exists between the degree of keratinization and the presence of high molecular weight cytokeratins.
    • Histologic variations mirrored the observed cytokeratin patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • Vocal cord polyp epithelium exhibits cytokeratin patterns indicative of hyperproliferation and abnormal differentiation.
    • These findings support the classification of vocal cord polyps as a heterogeneous group of benign lesions.
