I?m 43 years old man iving in sweden. My question is: I got a larynx cyst according to the ent doctor. I got it laser removed. But without biopsy I was diagnosed with benign tumor. I? m really worried that I was misdiagnosed. My 2nd question is how long does the symptoms of it last as I feel that there is lump in the right hand side of my throat. Please reply.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, cysts on the larynx are predominantly benign and hence your diagnosis. In an ideal world every tissue is sent for a biopsy but in some cases depending on the history and lack of co morbidities, and if the clinical diagnosis is strongly one of a benign condition, then it is perfectly alright to use laser to treat such lesions. Since you seem to have some persisting symptoms and you have a concern that you have been misdiagnosed, I would recommend a second opinion either to correctly diagnose your condition or if not at the least reassure you since you seem to be rather worried. Best wishes.
