91. Which of the following best describes vocal fold
granuloma?
• A. Is often related to recent endotracheal
intubation
• B. Occurs at the vocal process of the arytenoid
cartilage
• C. Involves caseating nodules on histology
• D. Can often be a recurrent problem
• E. A, B, D
• 91. Answer: E. Caseating nodules on histology
should lead the clinician to suspect a diagnosis
other than granuloma. The most common
location of vocal fold granulomas is near the
vocal process, often related to intubation, and
can be recurrent-particularly in cases with
nonintubated etiology. PAGE 995
• 92. Which of the following is a property of an
ideal laser for laryngeal surgery?
A. Superficial tissue penetration with minimal
collateral tissue injury
B. Ability to cut and coagulate
C. Deliverable through a flexible fiber that can
be passed through a flexible endoscope
D. Hemostatic properties
E. All of the above
• 92. Answer: E. The answers describe ideal
characteristics for any tool used for laryngeal
surgery. PAGE 1086
• 93. Wegener disease has a predilection for
which part of the larynx; and emerging
therapy includes the use of what treatment?
A. Glottis; augmentative cartilage grafts
B. Glottis; monoclonal antibodies
C. Subglottis; augmentative cartilage grafts
D. Subglottis; monoclonal antibodies
E. None of the above
• 93. Answer: D. Wegener disease has a
predilection for the subglottis. Though
unproven at this point, monoclonal antibody
therapy may prevent long-term airway
scarring and stenosis. PAGES 880-881
94. A 68-year-old man with treated right tonsillar
squamous cell carcinoma and longstranding left
vocal cord paralysis. What is the source of the
asymmetric FDG ( fluoro2-deoxyglucose) uptake on
this fused PET (positron emission tomography)/CT
image?
A.Recurrence at the primary site
B. Recurrence in cervical lymph nodes
C. Infection
D. Chondroradionecrosis
E. Vocal fold paralysis
• 94. Answer: E. Paralysis of the left vocal fold
creates asymmetry by decreasing the uptake
on the left side, making the right side seem
too hot by comparison. In truth, the right side
is displaying normal physiologic uptake of
FOG. This uptake is in the wrong location for
either type of recurrence. There are no CT
findings of infection or chondroradionecrosis.

95. An 81-year-old man with submucosal laryngeal mass.
What is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Osteosarcoma
B. Chondrosarcoma
C. Squamous cell carcinoma {SCC)
D. Hemangioma
E. Polyp
• 95. Answer: B. The calcified matrix within this
tumor consists of arcs and circles, which are
features seen in chondrosarcoma.
Osteosarcoma and SCC would be more
aggressive. Hemangiomas and polyps would
not calcify in this pattern. PAGE 152
96. A 76-year-old woman with difficulty swallowing.
What is the cause of her dysphagia?
A. Larrngeal tumor
B. Cricopharrngeal achalasia
C. Hypopharrngeal tumor
D. Pharrngeal denervation
E. Gastroesophageal reflux
• 96. Answer: B. A smooth posterior indentation
at the level of CS/6, measuring 1 em in vertical
dimension, is usually an unrelaxed
cricopharyngeus muscle. Mucosal tumors
would have an irregular margin. Denervation
presents as asymmetric pharyngeal
contractility. PAGE 822
• 97. A 50-year-old woman with stridor. What is
the most likely cause?
