 Vocal Fold Cysts

 

Vocal Fold Cysts are benign lesions on the vocal folds that may either be filled with mucous (mucous retention cyst) or a fibrous mass on the vocal folds.

Occasionally, the cysts reside deep in the tissue of the vocal fold and causes the vibratory pattern to be restricted in motion. In children and some adults, cysts may have a contralateral mass lesion and it may be difficult to determine if these are cysts or vocal nodules.

Video laryngostroboscopy is necessary to properly diagnose these lesions.
