A 10-year-old boy was examined because of snoring. Laryngoscopy revealed a light yellow cyst extending from the mesopharynx to the hypopharynx.
Fiberscopic examination showed a pedunculated cyst originating in the right pyriform sinus.
The cyst was aspirated, and a portion of the cyst wall was removed to prevent reaccumulation of fluid.
Pathological examination revealed a retention cyst.
