Key result
Computed tomography successfully evaluated submucosal laryngeal masses in 24 patients, providing a primary working diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma in 12 of 13 confirmed cases.
Why the study?
Does CT imaging improve the identification and diagnosis of submucosal laryngeal masses in patients with unexplained symptoms?
Observational (n=24)

CT is an indispensable tool for evaluating submucosal laryngeal masses, especially when endoscopy is negative, and should prompt deep biopsy to avoid diagnostic delays.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
CT may aid diagnosis of submucosal laryngeal masses when endoscopy is negative; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Saleh et al. (1992) conducted an observational in Submucosal laryngeal mass lesions (n=24). Computed tomography (CT) was evaluated on Diagnosis of submucosal laryngeal masses. Computed tomography successfully evaluated submucosal laryngeal masses in 24 patients, providing a primary working diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma in 12 of 13 confirmed cases.
