Abstract
Two cases of laryngeal cyst in a 57-year-old male and a 30-yea-old female were reported. The cysts of both cases were submucosal tumors which seemed to have arisen from the saccules in the paraglottic space and to have extended to the vallecula, the false vocal cord, and the aryepiglottic fold. They were palpable through the thyrohyoid membrane from the neck, and were uneventfully resected using an external approach. One cyst was lined with simple cuboidal epithelium, and the other with stratified squamous epithilium. Both cysts were considered to be classified as lateral saccular cysts.
