Epiglottis cysts usually do not recur after surgery.
An epiglottis cyst is a cystic swelling formed due to congenital developmental abnormality or obstruction of mucous gland ducts of epiglottis mucosa, resulting in retention of mucus. It occurs more often in epiglottis valleys, epiglottis lingual surface, and epiglottis free edge, because these parts are rich in mucous glands.
Generally, epiglottis cysts are asymptomatic, but when the cysts are large, there may be throat discomfort or foreign body sensation, and when combined with infection, cysts may be formed, which may cause sore throat and dysphagia or even dyspnea.
The common treatment for epiglottis cyst is to use support laryngoscope to support the tongue root and expose the epiglottis cyst, and then use laryngeal cutter, scissors and cup forceps to remove the outer wall of the cyst, or laser or plasma cutter can be used as well. When the cyst is huge, the cyst fluid can be aspirated and then removed. Recurrence is less likely, and regular review is recommended after surgery.
The emergence of maladaptation timely consult a doctor to clarify the cause of the disease, and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
