Polyps Larynx (Throat) Polyps. Laryngeal polyps (also called throat or vocal cord polyps) are growths on the larynx (voice box). In most cases it is the result of injury to the vocal cords (folds of mucous tissue in the voice box) through overuse of the voice.In the vast majority of cases, they are not cancerous.he most common sites for growth are the nasal passage of the nose, the vocal cords (larynx) and colon (colorectal polyp). The two types unique to women are uterine polyps and cervical polyps. The cause of cervical polyps is not completely understood.

Children's health guide Croup is a viral infection of the voice box (larynx) and windpipe (trachea) associated with signs of a respiratory infection, such as a runny nose or cough. It's also a very common ailment of childhood. Usually the first indication of croup is a cough that sounds like the bark of a dog or seal. Your child may have trouble breathing because the tissue around the larynx is inflamed, constricting the windpipe, and because the bronchial passages are blocked with mucus.

Polyp (medicine) Adenomatous polyps. Adenomatous polyps, or adenomas, are polyps that grow on the lining of the colon and which carry a high risk of cancer. The adenomatous polyp is considered pre-malignant, i.e., likely to develop into colon cancer. The other types of polyps that can occur in the colon are the hyperplastic and inflammatory polyps.

Chronic Laryngitis Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx, the voice box that contains the vocal cords in the upper portion of the neck. Laryngitis occurs in two forms, acute and chronic. Acute laryngitis typically is a brief illness producing hoarseness and a sore throat. In most cases, an upper respiratory tract infection causes it.

What are Esophagus Polyps? A polyp is a mass of tissue protruding abnormally from the mucous membrane (protective lining of epithelial cells for secretion and absorption) of the esophagus.he polyps are smooth, round and grow from the wall of the esophagus. It is rarely cancerous and can be removed by an endoscopic procedure. Patients mostly don’t report symptoms from these. However, some may complain of chest pain and dysphagia.

larynx pl. larynges [Gr.] the muscular and cartilaginous structure, lined with mucous membrane, situated at the cranial end of the trachea and behind the root of the tongue and the hyoid bone. The larynx contains the vocal cords, and is responsible for vocalization; it is called also the voice box.

Cancer of the Larynx & Voice Box Larynx: An organ in the throat used in breathing, swallowing, and talking. It is made of cartilage and muscle and is lined by a mucous membrane similar to the lining of the mouth. It is also called the voicebox. The larynx has three parts: the supraglottis, the glottis, and the subglottis.

- Reviewed by Richard Alweis, MDAn esophageal polyp is a type of abnormal growth that protrudes from the lining of the esophagus. Esophageal polyps are rather rare in the general population, and in a broad-spectrum autopsy study were identified with a frequency of only 0.5%.iagnosis and Treatment. Overall, esophageal polyps occur only rarely, and usually do not produce any symptoms or require treatment. When they become problematic, the most common reported effect is dysphagia, with occasional respiratory problems, chest pain, and very rarely, instances of regurgitation.

- The larynx (/ˈlærɪŋks/; plural larynges; from the Greek λάρυγξ lárynx),[1] commonly called the voice box, is an organ in the neck of tetrapods involved in breathing, sound production, and protecting the trachea against food aspiration. The larynx houses the vocal cords, and manipulates pitch and volume, which is essential for phonation.

Croup Croup is an infectious pediatric illness of the respiratory system that involves predominantly the vocal cords (larynx) and windpipe (trachea), and to a lesser degree the upper airways of the lungs (bronchial tubes). The majority of a child's symptoms reflect involvement of the larynx.

Nodules, Polyps, and Cysts The term vocal cord lesion (physicians call them vocal fold lesions) refers to a group of noncancerous (benign), abnormal growths (lesions) within or along the covering of the vocal cord. Vocal cord lesions are one of the most common causes of voice problems and are generally seen in three forms; nodules, polyps, and cysts.

Nasal Polyps Clinical Presentation Massive polyposis or a single large polyp (eg, an antral-choanal polyp) that obstructs the nasal cavities and/or nasopharynx can cause obstructive sleep symptoms and chronic mouth breathing. Rarely, massive polyposis, observed in CF and in allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) can alter the craniofacial structure.

Overview Stomach polyps. Definition. Stomach polyps — also called gastric polyps — are masses of cells that form on the lining inside your stomach. These polyps are rare and usually don't cause any signs or symptoms. Stomach polyps are most often discovered when your doctor is examining you for some other reason. Most stomach polyps don't become cancerous. But certain types can increase your risk of stomach cancer in the future.

Polyps of the Colon and Rectum An intestinal polyp is any mass of tissue that arises from the bowel wall and protrudes into the lumen. Most are asymptomatic except for minor bleeding, which is usually occult. The main concern is malignant transformation; most colon cancers arise in a previously benign adenomatous polyp. Diagnosis is by endoscopy. Treatment is endoscopic removal. (See also the U.S. Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer’s guidelines for colonoscopy surveillance after screening and polypectomy.). Polyps may be sessile or pedunculated and vary considerably in size. Incidence of polyps ranges from 7 to 50%; the higher figure includes very small polyps (usually hyperplastic polyps or adenomas) found at autopsy.

Colorectal polyp A colorectal polyp is a polyp (fleshy growth) occurring on the lining of the colon or rectum.Untreated colorectal polyps can develop into colorectal cancer. Colorectal polyps are often classified by their behaviour (i.e. benign vs. malignant) and/or etiology (e.g. as a consequence of inflammatory bowel disease).They may be benign (e.g. hyperplastic polyp), pre-malignant (e.g. tubular adenoma) or malignant (e.g. colorectal adenocarcinoma). colorectal polyp is a polyp (fleshy growth) occurring on the lining of the colon or rectum.

Cervical, Endocervical, and Endometrial Polyps A polyp is a mass of tissue projecting from a mucous membrane, such as the cervix or endometrium. A pedunculated polyp is attached to the mucous membrane by a stalk, which is its blood supply. Endometrial polyps are overgrowths of endometrial glands and stroma in the endometrium. Cervical and endocervical polyps are the most common benign, neoplastic (new) growths of the cervix.

Nasal polyp Nasal polyp. Nasal polyps (NP) are non cancerous growths within the nose or sinuses. Symptoms include trouble breathing through the nose, loss of smell, decreased taste, post nasal drip, and a runny nose. The growths are sac-like, movable, and nontender. They typically occur in both nostrils in those who are affected.
