Chronic irritation of the laryngeal mucosa by external factors can lead to the development of dysphonia: hoarseness, change of the voice tone or weakening of its strength. Patients who additionally report alarming symptoms, such as dyspnea, dysphagia, or odynophagia require urgent diagnosis and treatment. Long-term exposure to irritants may lead to the development of numerous recurrent hypertrophic laryngeal lesions requiring continuous otorhinolaryngological care and multiple surgical procedures, as it was in the presented case.
