Abstract
BACKGROUNDLaryngeal contact granuloma (LCG) is difficult to treat and frequently associated with high persistence and recurrence, despite the availability of both surgical and pharmacological treatment options. An appropriate strategy is therefore needed to help patients with multiple recurrences of LCG to potentially avoid unnecess-ary surgery.CASE SUMMARYWe describe the case of a 34-year-old male patient with recurrent LCG in which a good response was achieved through successful management of laryngophar-yngeal reflux disease using a combination pharmacotherapeutic regimen consisting of anti-reflux therapy, pepsin secretion inhibition, bile acid neutralization, and lifestyle modifications. This patient underwent surgery to excise the granuloma, then relapsed, underwent a second surgery, which was followed by a second recurrence. The granuloma then disappeared after 9 mo of combined treatment with ilaprazole enteric-coated capsules (10 mg qd), mosapride tablets (5 mg tid) and compound digestive enzyme capsules (2 tablets). The drug regimen was discontinued after one year, and no recurrence of the lesion has been reported during the one-year follow-up period. CONCLUSIONWe report a combination of pharmacotherapeutics and lifestyle modifications for the management of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease to address recurring LCG.
