Glottic carcinoma is the most common form of laryngeal cancer and is usually diagnosed in very early stages due to the typical hoarseness caused by vocal cord masses. In addition to the primary diagnostic tool, the endoscopy, the role of cross-sectional imaging is the determination of growth pattern and submucosal...
