Epiglottic cysts are benign laryngeal lesions. Though congenital cysts are often life-threatening, they are usually painless and symptomless in adults, or present with slight, though perceptible, interference with either swallowing or speaking or respiration. Early recognition and diagnosis by routine mirror laryngoscopy is advocated. Prompt removal or draining is the treatment. This is a case report of 42-year-old woman with complaints of feeling of something in throat, sleep apnoea and hoarseness, who on routine mirror laryngoscopy was found to have two large cysts arising from the free border of the epiglottis. The final histopathology reported the cysts as epidermal inclusion cysts.
会厌囊肿为喉部良性病变。先天性会厌囊肿虽有潜在致命危险，但成人通常无明显症状，或仅表现为吞咽、言语或呼吸时轻微但可察觉的障碍。提倡通过常规喉镜检查早期识别和诊断。及时切除或引流是主要治疗手段。本文报道了 1 例 42 岁女性，主要表现为咽喉部异物感、睡眠呼吸暂停和声音嘶哑，常规喉镜检查发现会厌游离缘有 2 个大囊肿。最终的组织病理学报告囊肿为表皮包涵囊肿。
