title: [Phyolaryngocele: a case report and review of literature].
abstract: A case of pyolaryngocele presented as a lateral cervical mass that produced acute dyspnea requiring tracheotomy. The diagnosis was by direct laryngoscopy, which revealed outflow of purulent material with pressure on the tumor, and was confirmed by CT. Broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment was given and the pyolaryngocele was excised by lateral extramucosal tyrotomy. The literature on laryngocele and pyolaryngocele was reviewed.
