[Two cases of laryngocele].
A laryngocele is a rare benign dilatation of the anterior part of Ventriculus Laryngis. The symptoms are either hoarseness, a tumor on the neck or a combination. In the literature a link between laryngocele and carcinoma of the larynx is well described. For this reason a careful clinical examination together with MRI or CT scans is of outmost importance. None of the patients described had larynx cancer. Of the two patients described, one underwent surgery, the other was treated conservatively due to general health.
