Abstract

Laryngeal cysts are benign laryngeal lesions of which incidence rate is just about 5%. These cysts have various initial presentations depending on the sites of origin. False vocal folds (ventricular band) rarely gets involved: only 5% of total benign laryngeal cysts cases. They are classified into several types based on the sites of origin and the underlying pathophysiology. Ductal cysts of false vocal fold (ventricular band) are very rare. Common symptoms are dysphagia, dysphonia, dyspnea and foreign body sensation. We discussed an elderly patient who presented with just dysphonia and final diagnosis is ductal cyst arising from false vocal cord (ventricular band). He recovered fully after endoscopic microlaryngeal resection and no recurrence was seen after 1 year. The patient was a chronic smoker but no absolute causal relationship and risk factors associated with this pathology were identified. The investigations, features and outcome of the cyst are further elaborated. Several treatment modalities were reported in literature but no superiority comparison were made.
