Gold laser removal of a large ductal cyst on the laryngeal surface of the epiglottis

We report an unusual presentation of a large ductal cyst located on the laryngeal surface of the epiglottis. The patient presented with a low tone voice while displaying bilateral normal appearing vocal cords with normal mobility. Computed tomography scans and flexible laryngoscopy showed a round supraglottic mass approximately 2 cm in diameter on the right lateral laryngeal surface of the epiglottis. The mass was removed surgically during microsuspension laryngoscopy with excision of the mucocele utilizing a gold laser. Postoperatively, the patient's voice returned to baseline with no complications.PMID:33456180 | PMC:PMC7785175 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2020.1814485
