Intubation granuloma is a delayed complication of endotracheal intubation in adults.The most frequent complaint of the patient with laryngeal granuloma is hoarseness and the most common location of the granuloma is the vocal process of arytenoid cartilage.We report a female patient with incidentally detected granuloma during endotracheal intubation who had no preoperative vocal symptoms.
