Vocal fold cysts are diagnosed based on gathering a case history, perceptual examination, and laryngeal imaging. [3] Practicing good vocal hygiene is recommended to prevent vocal fold cysts. [4] Initial treatment of the cysts involves voice therapy to reduce harmful vocal behaviours. If symptoms remain after voice therapy, patients may require ...

Laryngeal cysts are cysts involving the larynx or more frequently supraglottic locations, such as epiglottis and vallecula. [1] Usually they do not extend to the thyroid cartilage. [ 2 ] They may be present congenitally [ 3 ] or may develop eventually due to degenerative cause. [ 4 ]
[2] [3] Histologically, it is characterised by the dominant presence of multiple osteoid- or cartilage- containing lobules that are separated by fibrous septae. [4] [5] MTB should be differentiated from other bone tumours. [6] Although most frequently found in dogs, [7] MTB has been reported in humans, [8] cats, [9] a horse and a ferret. [10]
In most cases, appropriate treatment protocols cause few side effects, but white blood cell counts must be monitored. Allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplantations (as is commonly done in humans) have recently been shown to be a possible treatment option for dogs. [19] Most of the basic research on transplantation biology was generated ...
Thyroglossal cysts can be defined as an irregular neck mass or a lump which develops from cells and tissues left over after the formation of the thyroid gland during developmental stages. [ 1 ] Thyroglossal cysts are the most common cause of midline neck masses and are generally located caudal to (below) the hyoid bone.
