ABSTRACT
Vocal cord swellings are a commonly encountered clinical entity. However, Vocal cord cysts are rare. Also, these are mostly retention cysts caused by obstruction of a glandular duct. We hereby report a case of vocal cord cyst which was diagnosed as retention cyst clinically. However, on excision followed by histopathological examination a diagnosis of epidermoid cyst was made. This case is reported due to the finding of a very rare entity and also to re-emphasize the importance of histopathology as gold standard in examination of lesions.
Key words: Vocal cord cyst, epidermoid cyst, Vocal cord swelling.
