Laryngeal granulomas are ascribed to laryngopharyngeal reflux, voice abuse, and endotracheal intubation, but their pathogenesis is controversial. A recurrent giant granuloma causing dyspnea occurred after a severe psychological stress and was successfully treated by surgery, steroid injection, and psychotherapy. This case highlights the role of psychological stress in granulomas pathogenesis.

Abstract
Laryngeal granulomas are ascribed to laryngopharyngeal reflux, voice abuse, and endotracheal intubation, but their pathogenesis is controversial. A recurrent giant granuloma causing dyspnea occurred after a severe psychological stress and was successfully treated by surgery, steroid injection, and psychotherapy. This case highlights the role of psychological stress in granulomas pathogenesis.
