    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Laryngeal cysts are generally benign, presenting with symptoms like dysphagia and hoarseness.
    • Epiglottic cysts specifically can arise from the larynx.

    Observation:

    • A 43-year-old man experienced progressive airway obstruction due to a large epiglottic cyst.
    • The cyst involved the epiglottis and hypopharynx, causing near-complete airway compromise.

    Findings:

    • Emergency tracheotomy was required to secure the patient's airway.
    • Initial incision and drainage provided temporary relief, but recurrence necessitated laser excision.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the potentially lethal nature of laryngeal cysts.
    • Anatomic and embryologic factors are crucial for understanding and managing these lesions.
