Abstract

Although the majority of larynx formations are benign, some of them can become malignant. Symptoms of benign tumors of the larynx - hoarseness, breathy voice, shortness of breath, aspiration, dysphagia, pain, earache and hemoptysis in case of malignancy. The frequency of laryngeal cysts is from 4 to 7% of all benign formations of this localization. In 7–15% of cases, the disease is combined with malignant tumors of the larynx. Laryngoceles are more often acquired than congenital and may cause stridor in neonates and young children. Diagnosis of laryngocele is traditionally carried out on the basis of direct or indirect laryngoscopy, as well as CT and MRI. However, the ultrasound method can be used as a non-invasive method that allows diagnosing laryngeal masses with a high probability.
