Abstract
Laryngeal granuloma formation is an uncommon complication following endotracheal intubation. We describe a case wherein a pedunculated laryngeal granuloma developed following endotracheal intubation for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The intubation was atraumatic, and extubation in the ICU was without complication. Following an initial uneventful recovery, the patient developed laryngopharyngeal reflux and contracted an upper respiratory infection (URI), at which point she progressively developed hoarseness of voice and foreign body sensation over a period of three months. We present her case discussing the management of a massive pedunculated laryngeal granuloma.
 Key words: Laryngeal granuloma, vocal cord granuloma, endotracheal intubation, laryngopharyngeal reflux.
