Abstract

Glycogenic acanthosis is a common benign lesion of the esophagus; however, reports of extra-esophageal manifestations are exceedingly rare. This case represents the first report of laryngeal glycogenic acanthosis found in a living patient, presenting as vocal fold leukoplakia. Glycogenic acanthosis may be considered among the differential diagnoses of conditions presenting as vocal fold leukoplakia.
