Voice Disorders - Vocal Nodules, Polyps, Cysts and Tumours

The most common vocal fold growths are nodules, polyps and cysts.

• Vocal fold nodules – thickened areas that occur on both vocal folds. Also known as singer’s nodules or ‘calluses of the vocal fold'.
• Vocal fold polyp – a growth that is typically present on only one vocal fold.
• Vocal fold cyst – fluid-containing sac located under the surface of the vocal fold.
