Santorini cartilage is a hyperplastic part of the vocal cords of the larynx, in which precancerous lesions are often localized, usually in the form of true polyps, such as acromial or nasopharyngeal polyps.
A sign of the disease is the appearance of hoarseness or a dull sound in the throat. As the oncological process develops, wheezing may appear. The tumor grows quite slowly, without causing discomfort to the patient for a long time. The causes of the development of the disease are associated with the inflammatory process of viral etiology, as well as a number of other prerequisites.
