Vocal fold cysts are benign lesions of the larynx. Vocal fold cysts can be unilateral or bilateral and often confused with vocal nodules, particularly when symmetrical. The most common clinical presentation of this lesion is hoarseness of voice. The vocal fold cyst is usually secondary to vocal abuse. Endoscopic examination or videostroboscopy is an important tool for clinical confirmation of the vocal fold cyst. Transoral microlaryngeal surgery followed by speech therapy is an ideal treatment option for vocal fold cysts. Playing with a flute for a prolonged period is rarely reported with vocal fold cyst. Here, we report a case of true vocal fold cyst I in a 15-year-old boy who regularly practices flute.
