Familizarize the reader with common and uncommon submucosal laryngeal lesions.
Identify key imaging features that can help differentiate among the various neoplastic and non-neoplastic submucosal laryngeal lesions.
Recognize potential "don't touch" submucosal laryngeal lesions.
Review next step in management of these lesions.
Essential laryngeal anatomy will be reviewed via diagrams and patient cross-sectional imaging studies.
Through a number of CT and MRI cases from our institution the reader will be exposed to various submucosal laryngeal lesions including: benign and malignant neoplastic, infectious, inflammatory, vascular, congenital and traumatic.
Key imaging features on CT and MRI, etiology, patient demographics, and next steps in management for the various lesions will be reviewed.
