Abstract

Oncocytic cysts of the larynx are rare benign, slow growing lesions that are lined predominantly or exclusively by oncocytes. In the larynx, oncocytic metaplasia is very uncommon, but it is occasionally seen in the lining of laryngeal cysts. Management of these lesions is conservative and consists of local excision, endoscopic removal being the treatment of choice.Causes of oncocytic changes and pathogenesis of laryngeal cysts are discussed.
