Summary

The provider uses a laryngoscope to look directly inside the larynx, which is the voice box, to detect the presence of an abnormal mass of tissues in the voice box of the patient. He may remove the outer layers of the vocal cord or epiglottis, which is called stripping, and/or he may excise the tumor.
