Bilateral post-intubation talc granulomata of the vocal cords. 1978

A R Al-Sheikhli

A clear histological picture of talcum powder within the vocal cord granulomata in one patient has been described. As talcum powder is not deliberately employed during the manufacture of surgical gloves or endotracheal tubes, accidental contamination of the endotracheal tube appears likely.
