| Abstract | Background: Cystadenoma of the salivary glands is a rare benign clinical condition affecting both major and minor salivary glands equally. It constitutes approximately 2% of total neoplasms and 4.2-4.7% of benign formations in minor salivary glands. Typically presenting as a slow-growing, painless neoplasm, it can be distinguished from Cystadenolymphoma (Whartin's Tumor) by the absence of lymphoid elements in histological examination. While mostly located in the oral cavity and oropharynx, it can also be found in sinonasal mucosa, and rare cases have been identified in the larynx. Case presentation: A 75-year-old Caucasian woman presented to the ear, nose, and throat department with complaints of dysphonia and headaches persisting for several months. Dysphonia had developed months after an unspecified vocal cord surgery elsewhere. Flexible laryngoscopy identified a left-sided cystic swelling affecting the supraglottic space, leading to respiratory obstruction and dysphonia. Head and neck computed tomography confirmed a 1.9 × 1.7 cm bilobed cystic mass originating from the left Morgagni ventricle. Microlaryngoscopy with CO Conclusion: Ectopic minor salivary gland tumors, both benign and malignant, should be taken into consideration as potential differential diagnosis for any swelling arising within the upper digestive tract mucosa. Ears, nose, and throat clinical examination completed by videolaryngoscopy can easily point out the location of the mass. Imaging is mandatory for differential diagnosis and for surgical planning. Surgical excision can provide both diagnosis and definitive cure. |
