Glottic Keratosis: Significance and Identification of Laryngoscopic Findings.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Glottic keratosis poses a challenge because a decision to biopsy must weigh the likelihood of dysplasia and cancer against the voice outcome after biopsy. We determined the significance of laryngoscopic findings and agreement among clinicians to identify those specific findings.
