“…El quiste valecular es una entidad poco frecuente, producida por la obstrucción de las glándulas mucosas o bien de etiología congénita, ya que se han diagnosticado casos en recién nacidos 1 . Generalmente son asintomáticos en el adulto, aunque pueden causar síntomas respiratorios y deglutorios según su localización, tamaño y posibilidad de infección [2][3][4] .…”

“…Las características que determinan el modo de presentación de los quistes laríngeos parecen ser su posición, tamaño y si presentan sobreinfección, la cual genera epiglotitis con o sin formación de abscesos que pueden producir obstrucción aguda de las vías respiratorias, una complicación potencialmente mortal 2,3 .…”

“…De esta forma, casi dos tercios se diagnostican de manera incidental. Sin embargo, a medida que crecen por mayor contenido de mucina, pueden interferir progresivamente en la deglución causando disfagia o incluso cambios en la voz, odinofagia o llegar a comprometer la vía aérea produciendo dificultad respiratoria 2,3,5 .…”

Background. Cysts in the larynx are rare and generally asymptomatic. However, large cysts in adults can be symptomatic. If they are symptomatic, they typically present with respiratory and feeding difficulties. They are usually benign in terms of pathology. Several surgical techniques may be used for treatment. Case Report. A 56-year-old man presented to our clinic with hoarseness. Routine laryngeal examination revealed a giant mass and the larynx could not be visualized. At magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a cystic mass originating from the vallecula was detected. There was no pathology at the glottic level. We planned tracheotomy for the airway and endoscopic surgery for excision. The mass was excised using CO2 laser and was reported as benign. Conclusion. An asymptomatic vallecular cyst may cause difficult intubation in any operation. It may also cause respiratory or other complications. Airway management should be led by an ear, nose, and throat surgeon, since tracheotomy may be required. Endoscopic excision with CO2 laser is a good choice for treatment in elective cases. In this report, we discuss the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with an asymptomatic giant vallecular cyst.
