Laryngeal Oncocytic Cyst: An Uncommon Incident

Abstract

Oncocytic cysts of the larynx are benign and rare lesions constituting a pathologically distinct sub-group of cysts. In this report, we present a case with dyspnea with two large masses on false vocal cord identified by video laryngoscopy. Fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation revealed oncocytic laryngeal cysts.
