Abstract

We report herein on two cases of multiple laryngeal cysts located on the lingual surface of the epiglottis, the aryepiglottic folds and the arytenoids. Esophagogastroscopy revealed gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) in one case, and progressive esophageal cancer in the other case. We speculated that cases with multiple laryngeal cysts might have functional disorders of the esophagus.
