Abstract
A subglottic tophaceous deposition of urate crystals is a rare finding. We report on a case of a male Caucasian who had a moderate dysphonia without any further laryngeal symptoms. The laryngoscopy revealed a hemispheric lesion on the left subglottic region. An excision biopsy was performed, and the histopathological examination of the dissected specimen showed a tophus. Diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are discussed.Entities:
