Abstract
Several cases of papilloma of the larynx have come under my observation, occurring in the practice of Dr. Moreau R. Brown, which were treated by removal of parts with forceps and the subsequent application of thuja. The following case is one in which good results were obtained by this treatment. Mrs. W., an elderly woman, had been hoarse for about two years, had slight dyspnea, and at times noticed some little noise located in the larynx during respiration. She tried change of climate several times but found little relief. Upon examination with the laryngeal mirror, a papilloma about the size of the end of a finger was seen springing, with a broad base, from the false vocal cord of the right side, and extending beyond the true cord to the median line. The growth was of an unusually hard consistency. A portion of it was removed by the laryngeal forceps
