Vocal cord nodules, polyps, and Reinke's edema are common laryngeal lesions caused by phonotrauma or repetitive vocal trauma. Vocal cord nodules appear as small, whitish lesions at the junction of the anterior and posterior vocal folds. Treatment involves speech therapy and possible microlaryngoscopy or laser excision. Vocal cord polyps are usually unilateral and pedunculated lesions located on the vocal folds. Treatment is surgical excision to confirm diagnosis and prevent recurrence. Reinke's edema causes diffuse swelling of the vocal folds and is associated with smoking. Treatment involves smoking cessation and possible surgery.
