Abstract

Background: Benign lesions of vocal fold commonly occur in general population, causing significant hoarseness and interfering with routine vocal use. We aim to report a combination of microlaryngeal surgery and steroid injection intralesion in treating vocal fold ductal cyst. Case description: A 46-year-old male presented with chronic and persistent dysphonia for the past 2 years. Flexible laryngoscope examination showed a pale white mass on the one-third anterior of the right true vocal fold. Significant improvement was acquired following microlaryngeal surgery and vocal fold steroid injection. Conclusion: A vocal cord ductal cyst, a rare apparition, manifests clinically similar to other benign laryngeal lesions. Therefore, a common management algorithm can be utilized. Postoperative care is a notable matter in the management of a ductal laryngeal cyst to achieve good vocal outcome.
