[Results of laryngo-microscopic examinations over a 10-year period at the ORL Department of the Senta Hospital].
In the period from 1980-1989, 199 laryngomicroscopical examinations were conducted at our department. There were 20 cases of laryngeal carcinoma, 55 cases of keratosis with the presence of dysplasia in 21.8%, as well as 19 papillomas in adult individuals. In our material keratoses appear a few years before the onset of laryngeal carcinoma in an average statistical distribution. With one exception, the carcinomas were detected before the appearance of metastases. Our data indicate the exceptional benefit of laryngomicroscopy in the detection of precancerous lesions and carcinoma of the larynx.
