Concomitant tonsillar cyst and papilloma in larynx: A case report
1Department of Otolaryngology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Peking Union Medical College and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China.
Rationale:
Laryngeal cysts are rare lesions that may occur at any mucosa-lined location within the larynx. Papillomas are also benign lesions of the larynx.
Patient Concerns:
We report a 34 year-old-patient with a laryngeal cyst incidentally found during screening endoscopy and presenting as a soft tissue mass on a computerized tomography scan. A papilloma concomitant with the cyst was detected intraoperatively.
Diagnoses:
Concomitant tonsillar cyst and papilloma of the larynx.
Interventions:
The lesion was completely resected with a bipolar radiofrequency plasma ablation (RFA) device.
Outcomes:
Pathologic examination showed a tonsillar cyst and papilloma in the larynx. Six months later, there has been no evidence of recurrence.
Lessons:
To our knowledge, this is the first report of a concomitant tonsillar cyst and a papilloma in the larynx. Asymptomatic laryngeal cysts can be detected endoscopically. RFA is safe and effective for endoscopic management.
