Presented is a summary of our experience with 157 patients having a diagnosis of epidermoid cyst, glottic sulcus, or mucosal bridge of the true vocal cord. Each patient in this group was diagnosed and treated jointly by a phoniatrist and microlaryngoscopist and then evaluated for results of surgical and phoniatric therapy. Included in the discussion are methods of examination and diagnosis, microanatomy and histopathology of the lesions, methods of treatment, and results of treatment. An argument for a common etiology for these lesions is advanced.
