This is the first case report describing an aryepiglottic cyst resulting in critical airway compromise after an uneventful tracheal intubation. We present the case of a 55-year-old woman who developed acute dyspnea and stridor several hours after the surgery. She was found to have significant upper airway obstruction owing to a large left aryepiglottic cyst with a ball-valve effect.

- Laryngeal neuroendocrine neoplasms (LNENs) are uncommon and diverse malignant tumors, with the case presentation focusing on a patient diagnosed with a G2 Neuroendocrine Tumor (G2 NET) after multiple surgeries.
- G2 NETs can sometimes be mistaken for hemangiomas due to their red and lumpy appearance, highlighting the need for better recognition among surgeons.
