Abstract:
Visceral soft tissue calcification is common in patients with end-stage renal disease. However, metastatic calcification of the true vocal cords has not been described. We present a patient with chronic renal failure and hoarseness in whom an exophytic true vocal cord mass was diagnosed as a metastatic calcification.
