AB  - Introduction  Contact granulomas (CGs) and intubation granulomas (IGs) are known 
      to have different clinical manifestations despite having the same pathological 
      features. Objective  The purpose of the present study was to analyze the 
      treatment results for CG and IG and to obtain clinical information. Methods  We 
      retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients diagnosed with vocal 
      process granuloma (VPG) between January 2015 and December 2018. The patient's 
      age, sex, medical history, lesion size, lesion type, reflux finding score (RFS), 
      response to treatment, duration of treatment, and follow-up period were compared. 
      Results  Eighteen patients with CG and 14 patients with IG were included in the 
      study. The IG group had more female patients ( p  = 0.0009), showed better 
      response to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and steroid inhalation (SI) ( p 
       = 0.036), and had a shorter treatment period ( p  = 0.0029) than the CG group. 
      Five patients who received botulinum toxin injections in their vocal cords had 
      complete remission. Conclusion  Compared with CG, IG was more responsive to 
      treatment with PPI and SI and required a shorter duration of treatment.
