Abstract
A 54-year-old woman presented to us with the chief complaint of hoarseness. Laryngoscopy showed a submucosal mass in each of the ventricular bands on either side. Computed tomography showed a cystic lesion and laryngoscopic resection was planned. Intraoperative findings showed a cystic lesion in the bilateral ventricular bands, both of which were removed. The symptoms improved after the surgery, but 40 months later, the patient visited us again complaining of hoarseness. Laryngoscopy revealed a cystic lesion in the left ventricular band and oral laryngoscopic removal was performed again, and based on the microscopic and pathological findings, a diagnosis of laryngeal saccular cyst was made. A laryngeal saccular cyst is a type of laryngeal cyst that occurs when the opening to the laryngeal cavity is obstructed. We encountered a case of bilateral multiple laryngeal saccular cysts and report the case herein, with a review of the literature. It is important to completely remove such cyst in order to prevent recurrence.
