Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional investigation of 152 dysphonic patients older than 20 years, operated as a consequence of benign tumors of the larynx in the Otorhinolaryngology Service of the "Saturnino Lora Torres" Surgical Clinical University Hospital of Santiago de Cuba, since January 2015 was carried out. until December 2016.

Results: In the series, the male sex predominated (56.6 %), the age group of 45-54 years (28.9 %), smokers in 77.6 %, and more than three quarters of the tumors diagnosed by laryngoscopy were polyps (83.6 %).
