Unlabelled: : To study the presentation, management and outcome of laryngeal cysts in children. : This is a retrospective observational study of children with Laryngeal cysts who were managed in the Department of Paediatric Surgery between April 2015 to Jan 2022. : Eight children with laryngeal cysts were included, 5 were girls. Age ranged from 3 days to 10 years (median 5 months). Weight ranged from 3kg to 40kg (median 6.3 kg). All presented with stridor. Three children had co-morbid conditions, one each with Leucocyte adhesion deficiency type -1, atrial septal defect & PHACES syndrome. Two children had severe respiratory distress and required tracheostomy at presentation. All children underwent MLB. The cysts were 2 subglottic cysts (one inflammatory cyst) and 6 vallecular cyst. Five underwent endoscopic excision of cysts, 1 underwent excision with lateral cervical approach, 1 underwent endoscopic de-roofing of cyst and airway reconstruction with anterior costal cartilage graft (associated Sub glottis stenosis). : Laryngeal cysts are a rare cause of stridor in children. MLB is the best diagnostic tool. Treatment with excision / deroofing of the cyst endoscopically, is safe and effective in paediatric age group.

Subglottic cysts and hemangiomas are rare but potentially life-threatening conditions in pediatric patients. Subglottic cysts are generally associated with premature infants with a history of prolonged endotracheal intubation, while subglottic hemangiomas are congenital vascular lesions that grow rapidly and are uncommon head and neck tumours in pediatric patients. Both conditions can present with generalised respiratory symptoms such as stridor.

Article Synopsis
  • Squamous cells in thyroid fine needle aspirations (FNAs) are rare and can indicate both malignant and benign conditions, with a study identifying 107 cases over 22 years.
  • Out of these, 44.9% were found to be malignant, including types like anaplastic thyroid carcinoma and various metastatic squamous cell carcinomas, while others showed benign features related to developmental cysts or metaplastic changes.
  • The findings underscore the importance of contextual clinical assessment and further analysis to ensure accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment for patients presenting with squamous cells in thyroid FNAs.
