Epiglottic cysts are rare benign lesions, accounting for approximately 4 to 6% of all laryngeal cysts. In adults, they are often discovered incidentally due to their typically silent clinical presentation. We report the case of a 54-year-old patient in whom an epiglottic cyst was incidentally found during an upper digestive endoscopy. Endoscopic examination revealed a well-circumscribed cystic mass, and a CT scan confirmed its benign cystic nature. An endoscopic excision was performed, leading to complete resolution with a favorable outcome. Through this case and a review of the literature, we highlight the clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic features of epiglottic cysts in adults. This case emphasizes the importance of early recognition and appropriate surgical management of this rare entity to prevent potential complications.
