Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Surgical Pathology

Background:

Laryngeal cysts are uncommon, typically benign growths affecting various age groups.
Supraglottic cysts, though rare, can lead to significant airway compromise.

Purpose of the Study:

To report a case of a large supraglottic cyst causing airway obstruction.
To describe the surgical management and long-term outcome of this rare laryngeal lesion.

Main Methods:

A 19-year-old female presented with hoarseness and airway obstruction.
A huge supraglottic cyst involving the right aryepiglottic fold was identified.
Surgical dissection was performed using a laryngofissure approach.

Main Results:

The large cystic mass was completely dissected.
