Ms. Summers presented to my office complaining of a feeling that something was caught in her throat. She is an opera singer and the feeling is most noticeable when she performs. My recommendation was for her to undergo a laryngoscopy and biopsy of the lesion. She agreed. Today, she underwent a direct laryngoscopy and biopsy of the vocal cord lesion using an operating microscope. She tolerated the procedure well and left the operating room in good condition. A frozen section was sent to pathology.
