Anterior Saccular Cyst of the Larynx ; A Case Report

Abstract

A case of an 84-year-old female with an anterior laryngeal saccular cyst was reported. Her chief complaint was hoarseness. A fiberoptic examination revealed swelling of the left false cord above the left vocal fold. The swelling was suspected as a submucosal mass. MRI imaging revealed cystic lesion. A following laryngomicroscopic examination revealed bilateral laryngeal cystic lesions in the false cords. The cyst on the left side was entirely removed with a Ho : YAG laser and the small cyst on the right side was treated by a partial resection of the cyst wall.
Based on clinical and histopathological findings, we diagnosed the disease as bilateral anterior saccular cysts. No recurrence has been found 13 months after resection.
