Abstract;A 66-year-old female who had been followed by internists for systemic sarcoidosis visited our clinic chiefly complaining of proloned hoarseness for 8 years. Laryngoscopic examination revealed a submucous mass on the right vocal fold extending to the false vocal fold. Under general anesthesia, the mass was removed microlaryngoscopically, and the wound was sutured. Histological examination revealed a noncaseous granuloma with Langhans-type giant cells, some of which contained visible asteroid bodies. Postoperatively, the patient's hoarseness improved and normal vocal fold vibration was observed under stroboscopy. (author abst.)
