Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the numerous destructive systemic diseases of the organism, characterized with progressive nature and the periods of remissions and relapses. About 3% of the adult population suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, mainly affecting small peripheral joints. 20% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis have rheumatoid extraarticular lesions in various organs of the body. Laryngeal manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis may have the form of myositis, neuropathy of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, granulomas, arthritis of the cricoarytenoid joints and rheumatic submucosal nodules. In this article the authors present a review literature devoted to laryngeal lesions in rheumatoid arthritis (clinical symptoms, diagnostics and treatment) and provide a description of a clinical case from their own practice.
