Fig. 1

A 30-year-old heavy smoker, male patient presented with hoarseness of voice. A & C Laryngeal ultrasound right lateral axial views show a right VC hypoechoic small nodule (curved arrows) measuring about 5 × 5.8 mm with posterior acoustic enhancement (thyroid cartilage landmark with asterisk). B & D Laryngeal ultrasound left lateral axial views show left VC hypoechoic small lesion (white arrows) measures about 4.7 × 4.1 mm with posterior acoustic enhancement. The vocal cord nodules show internal echoes, and this raises the possibility of highly proteinaceous or hemorrhagic cysts. E Flexible laryngoscopy with the anterior is at the bottom of this figure (epiglottis marked by arrow-head), reporting bilateral vocal cord polyps (black arrows). Endoscopic removal of the vocal cord lesions and histopathology assessment revealed complicated cysts matching the sonographic findings as acoustic enhancement in ultrasound confirms that it is a cystic lesion rather than vocal polyps
