The most common cysts in the pharynx are epiglottis cysts and vocal cord cysts. Epiglottis cysts occur on the lingual surface of the epiglottis and in the epiglottis valley due to local blockage of the glandular ducts, which causes decreased lift function of the epiglottis and a foreign body sensation in the throat. If the patient’s symptoms are severe, the foreign body sensation in the throat is heavy or the cyst is persistently increasing in size, surgical treatment is required. Examination of the vocal fold cyst reveals a smooth, pale white neophyte in the anterior middle third of the unilateral vocal folds, which causes hoarseness. If a vocal fold cyst is found, prompt surgical treatment is required. Most small cysts are asymptomatic; for large cysts, those that grow inside the throat mainly produce a foreign body sensation in the throat or cause hoarseness, which can usually be detected during fiberoptic laryngoscopy. Treatment: Smaller cysts (within 15mm) can generally be ignored. For larger cysts or those causing foreign body sensation and hoarseness, they can be removed surgically, but if they are not removed cleanly, they are prone to recurrence. Throat cysts have a good prognosis and generally do not cause malignant tumors, but may cause infection if they exist for a long time, so it is important to visit the ENT department of a regular hospital when you suspect a cyst in the throat.
