A Giant Combined Laryngomucocele

Abstract

ABSTRACT Laryngomucocele is a rare benign laryngeal disease characterized by cystic dilatation of laryngeal saccule with collection of mucous in it. The etiology behind its occurrence is still unclear, but congenital and acquired factors have been implicated in its development. Although it is a benign lesion, its presence in an old patient since many days should prompt the examiner to diligently search for laryngeal malignancy. We are presenting the case of a 61 years old male who presented with swelling in the neck, hoarseness of voice, dysphagia and dyspnea on exertion. The patient was thoroughly evaluated clinically, endoscopically and radiologically. He was diagnosed to be suffering from laryngomucocele and was managed by an external lateral cervical approach.
