Laryngeal cysts are cysts involving the larynx or more frequently supraglottic locations, such as epiglottis and vallecula. [1] . Usually they do not extend to the thyroid cartilage. [2] . They may be present congenitally [3] or may develop eventually due to degenerative cause. [4] . They often interfere with phonation.

2024年2月21日 · Laryngeal cysts can occur in any part of the larynx, but are more frequent in supraglottic locations, such as the epiglottis and vallecula. The prevalence of each location varies in different studies. The laryngeal cysts represent a rare group, about 5%, of benign laryngeal lesions 1. There is no gender predilection 3.

Objective Laryngeal cysts may occur at any mucosa-lined location within the larynx and account for 5% to 10% of nonmalignant laryngeal lesions. A number of proposed classifications for laryngeal cysts exist; however, no previously published classification aims to guide management.

2024年4月23日 · Cysts of the larynx in most cases are localized outside its cavity on the epiglottis or on the root of the tongue, but may occur in the ventricles of the larynx and on the cherpalodnagortan folds. On the vocal folds, small cystic lesions can arise as a result of the transformation of the polyps of this region. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]

2017年7月11日 · Laryngeal cysts have been associated with rapid-onset epiglottitis, dyspnea, stridor, and death; therefore, they should not be considered of little significance. Symptoms are varied and nonspecific. Laryngoscopy is the primary initial diagnostic tool.

Objective: Oncocytic papillary cystadenomas (OPCs) of the larynx are rare benign cystic lesions that usually present as supraglottic masses arising from the laryngeal ventricles. OPCs are found in patients older than 60 years, with a female predominance.

2024年4月8日 · A 61 year old woman presented with hoarseness of voice and was found to have a nodular lesion in the larynx with the microscopy shown above. What is the diagnosis? A. Laryngeal epithelial cyst. The section shows a distended cystic lesion lined by columnar epithelial cells with focal squamous metaplasia.

There are three types of laryngeal cysts, namely, mucous, hemorrhagic and congenital. Mucous cysts are caused by inflammatory obstruction of the ductal portion of a mucous gland. They are encountered most frequently in the vicinity of the epiglottis, where the mucous membrane contains abundant mucous glands.

Although this uncommon laryngeal condition is benign in nature, it could lead to dyspnea, stridor, and airway obstruction, depending on its size and location. Furthermore, some saccular cysts have been associated with laryngeal carcinoma.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of the laryngeal mucosal microvascular network in suspected laryngeal cancer patients, using narrow band imaging, and to evaluate the value of narrow band imaging endoscopy in the early diagnosis of …
