Abstract
Laryngeal cysts are rare, generally benign lesions which can affect all age groups. We report a case of huge supraglottic cyst. A 19 years old female presented with hoarseness and airway obstruction secondary to large cystic muss involving the entire right side of supraglottis attached to right aryepiglottic fold. Cyst was dissected by laryngofissure approach. On regular follow up for 3 years there is no recurrence of the lesion.
