A patient had multiple oncocytic cysts of the larynx and, concurrently, epidermoid carcinoma of the larynx. Total laryngectomy for the epidermoid carcinoma made it possible to carefully examine and histologically document the multifocal and oncocytic nature of the lesions. The authors interpret the findings to represent both hyperplastic and metaplastic processes.
