On the therapeutic methods of facial bone injuries

The authors present clinicomorphological characteristics of 2293 patients with benign neoplasms of the vocal cords. Nodules predominated in females, contact granulomas in males. Histological and histochemical evidence indicates that polyp-like new growths of the vocal cords known as fibromas, angiofibromas and nodules are not tumors. They are rather edematous, edematous-fibrous and angiomatous polyps arising as a reaction of vocal cords mucosa to phonatory trauma or chemical irritants.
