Laryngocele is an abnormal dilation of the laryngeal saccules arising from the laryngeal ventricle. We report the case of a 50 year-old smoker female patient with a palpable mass in the neck. The laryngoscopy showed a globular mass affecting piriform recess and right hemilarynx, with vocal folds preservation and with semi-occlusion of glottic space. Before performing the computed tomography, the main diagnostic hypothesis was laryngeal neoplasm. Contrasted CT showed an air-filled cavity in topography of cervical level III. The patient was then submitted to resection of the structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
