Are most laryngeal swellings benign?

Swellings in the larynx must be more benign than malignant, because hoarseness or loss of voice, difficulty swallowing, and foreign body sensation in the throat are most often due to cysts or nodules or polyps in the vocal folds, which are the most common in clinical practice. Some people may have lymphoma, papilloma, or vocal cord granuloma due to reflux esophagitis, which are mostly benign or precancerous. In the case of malignant lesions, most of them are due to squamous cell carcinoma in the larynx, which can be diagnosed by laryngoscopy and sent to pathology for clear diagnosis before symptomatic treatment. Relatively speaking, benign is more than malignant.
