A Vocal Cord Nodule Open Access Journals

 Vocal cord lesions, also identified as vocal fold lesions, are benign (noncancerous) developments that include nodules, polyps, and cysts. All can cause croakiness and may be related with vocal overuse or vocal cord trauma. Vocal cord nodules, sometimes called singer’s nodules or nodes, result from repetitive misuse or misuse of the voice. These callous-like growths grow in the midpoint of the vocal folds. Vocal cord nodules look like calluses below the microscope and are occasionally associated with abnormal blood vessels. Women between the ages of 20 and 50 years old are more prone to vocal cord nodules, but both men and women can be exaggerated. Vocal cord polyps are different from nodules because they can happen on either one or both vocal cords.
