Figure 1. Typical images of four different histological types of vocal
cord polyps. (A-D) Photographic images of four different histological
types of vocal cord polyps. (a-d) Representative images of histologic
sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded vocal cord polyps from
four different types. Sections were stained with H&E (40 x).
The edematous (A) types
of polyps was translucent in
appearance clinically. H&E staining of a typical tissue showed polyp
surface epithelium covered on the surface of edematous stroma with few
cells(a). The gelatinous (B) types of polyps appeared as a translucent
gel with basophilic mucous material separates the small astrocytes(b).
The vascular type of polyps was angiomatous in appearance (C) with
dilated blood vessels, granulation tissue and hemorrhage (c). The
fibrous type of polyps was grayish color lusterless fibrous protrusion
in appearance (D). H&E staining of a typical tissue showed a
cellulose-like substance distributed around vascular space with spindle
cells (d).
Figure 2. Clinical Photographs of Surgical Procedure for Vocal Fold
Polyps with Electronic Flexible Laryngoscope. A. Vocal fold polyp, a
bulge with fusiform pale red appearance on the right side. B. The
electronic flexible laryngoscope was inserted through the left nostril.
The flexible forceps was opened against the base of the vocal fold polyp
on the right side. C. The flexible forceps was reached to the right side
of the vocal fold polyp along the edge of the vocal folds, and clamped
vertically on the vocal fold polyp. D. The electronic flexible
laryngoscope was inserted through the right nostril. The flexible
forceps was pressed against the surface of the vocal folds to excise a
bulge of tissue on the left vocal fold. E. Bleeding was occurred after
bilateral vocal fold polyps excision. A flattened surface of vocal folds
was visible. F. One month follow-up version of vocal folds. Two bands of
smooth vocal fold were visible in the larynx.
