Abstract
We present a case report of a 66-year-old female with a laryngeal saccular cyst that was
treated endoscopically. Although this is an uncommon laryngeal anomaly, when it is recognized
and managed appropriately early in the course of its presentation patient complications
and morbidity can be avoided. The laryngeal saccular cyst can mimic or be associated with
other, more serious, laryngeal pathology, including carcinoma of the larynx. Because of the
known association between carcinoma of the larynx and laryngeal saccular cysts, these
lesions should be fully evaluated endoscopically and surgically excised. Direct microlaryngoscopy
with the use of the operating microscope is a safe and effective method for the treatment
of laryngeal saccular cysts.
