[Squamous cell carcinoma of the vocal cord subsequent to monocorditis vasomotorica (author's transl)].

In a patient with monocorditis vasomotorica, squamous cell carcinoma developed in the subepithelial layer during clinical follow up over a period of one year. This observation suggests that monocorditis vasomotorica may be a facultative precancerous lesion. Failure to improve spontaneously within a few weeks period should lead to biopsy. Close follow-up studies using laryngoscopy and laryngeal microstroboscopy should be performed at three month intervals until complete remission can be observed.
