Tumour in Larynx
Respected Doctor,
I was diagnosed with Polypoid Mass
Growth in Larynx(Right) in 1st week of July'2019 by local ENT doctor in Tata Main hospital,Jamshedpur after sudden hoarseness developed for a week.
The growth was surgically removed (MLS biopsy)at the end of July'2019.The tissue was sent to Tata Memorial Hospital Mumbai for Biopsy and IHC.As per the Biopsy report of TATA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL,Mumbai,no malignancy found in the soft tissue and is suggestive of Reparative Myofibroblastic proliferation.
However,recurrence of small growth in the same place appears after just 2 months during follow up check up in Sept'2019.ENT doctor is suggesting to go for DLS Biopsy again.
I had angioplasty in 2016 and i am on Aspirin,Clopidogrel and atorvastin and also a diabetic and hypertensive.Is aspirin and clopidogrel responsible for this recurrence and shall i stop these two medicines.
Pls.advise on this recurrence and permanent cure and what should i do now.
I am extremely worried.

Aspirin is known to cause polypoid masses. I suggest that this time you under LASER assisted Microlaryngeal Surgery to remove the present mass and send the tissues to Anand Diagnostic Laboratory, Bengaluru instead of Tata Memorial, Mumbai.
When LASER is used, you need not stop Clopidogrel as it is a bloodless procedure and there is no risk of seeding of malignant tissues unlike when cold-steel surgeries as the LASER beam cleanly lops off the tumor tissue with a healthy margin.
