OBJECTIVE: Chronic inflammatory pathology such as laryngopharyngeal reflux, autoimmune disease, vocal abuse, or post-traumatic cartilage exposure has been associated with recurrent laryngeal granuloma formation. The objective of this study is to present a case of recurrent, obstructive granulomatous lesions of the larynx due to chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa chondritis, which has not been previously described in the literature.
