Fig. 1. The patient’s throat magnetic resonance imaging scan showing a heterogeneously dense mass, sized approximately 65×29 mm at its broadest point, with its borders not clearly identified; therefore, the mass caused distinct asymmetry in the hypopharynx and oropharynx, displaced the uvula to the right side, and continued to the epiglottis level.

Most common site of schwannoma in larynx is aryepiglottic fold and false cords. Epiglottis involvement is rare. The ultimate diagnosis is based on the histologic demonstration of characteristic spindle cells with typical nuclear palisading and positive immunohistochemistry for S-100 protein, but negative for a-smooth muscle actin, CD34, and vimentin. Effective treatment is complete excision.

A six day old neonate was brought with the stridor, feeding difficulty and respiratory distress. There was no improvement after conservative management. Laryngoscopy revealed laryngeal cyst in region of epiglottis. We describe a novel use of cystoscope for safe and effective management of laryngeal cyst in single stage.
