Implication

Experimental study reveals diagnostic and terminological disparities in laryngeal contact ulceration across clinical practices, highlighting the unresolved etiology of vocal process lesions.

Key Points

To review the clinical characteristics, conflicting international nomenclature, and disputed etiology of contact ulceration of the larynx.
Assessed international clinical terminology and diagnostic designations for lesions affecting the vocal process of the arytenoid cartilage.
Examined pathological definitions, comparing Jackson's contact ulcer concept with Virchow's pachydermia laryngis and contact ulcer granuloma.
Demonstrated geographic divergence in diagnostic naming, with North and South American clinicians utilizing 'contact ulcer' while European laryngologists traditionally designate the condition as 'pachydermia laryngis.'
Identified persistent controversy and lack of consensus regarding the underlying etiology of unilateral or bilateral ulcerations and granulations over the vocal process.
