Abstract
Laryngeal cysts are a mixed group of benign lesions that have been classified as per their site of origin and histopathology. We report a case of an interarytenoid cyst in a 56 year old male with hyperparathyroidism. The cyst was resected under an operating microscope using KTP532 laser. It was reported on histopathology as an oncocytic variant of a ductal retention cyst.
