Asbestos fibers in laryngeal tissues. Findings in two patients with asbestosis associated with laryngeal tumors

A Hirsch, J Bignon, P Sebastien and A Gaudichet

In one case, there was a polyp on a vocal cord and in the other one a laryngeal carcinoma. These findings could provide an indication of a local carcinogenic effect of asbestos fibers in laryngeal tissue.
