Retrospective review reveals strong age and gender associations across benign vocal fold lesions in adults, suggesting anatomical and physiological differences drive susceptibility.

Key Points

To describe the demographic characteristics and evaluate gender and age associations across a broad array of benign vocal fold lesions in a treatment-seeking population.
Retrospective review of clinical evaluations and medical records for adult patients presenting for vocal care over a 5-year period.
Categorized 641 benign vocal fold lesions in 602 patients into 13 diagnostic groups, comparing prevalence by sex and across three age groups.
Pseudocysts and bilateral midfold lesions occurred principally in younger females aged 18 to 39 years (P < 0.0001), whereas Reinke's edema occurred predominantly in older women over 39 years (P < 0.012).
Polyps, contact lesions, and leukoplakia occurred predominantly in men (all P < 0.0001), as did sulcus vocalis (P < 0.0002).
