| description | Dermoid cysts are developmental anomalies that occur during midline fusion in embryological life. It is known that they can also be acquired as a result of traumatic and iatrogenic implantation. Laryngeal involvement of dermoid cysts has been reported very rarely in the literature. This report presents a case with multiple dermoid cysts originating from the epiglottis. A 59-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of foreign body sensation in the throat and dysphagia. Multiple cystic lesions originating from the epiglottis were observed in the laryngeal examination of the patient. After radiological examinations, the cysts were completely excised by endolaryngeal surgery. After excision of the lesions, which were reported as dermoid cysts, all complaints of the patient regressed, and no recurrence was observed in the 6th month after the operation and his follow-up continued. Dermoid cysts originating from the epiglottis are very rare, but they should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of epiglottis lesions. |
