| A punch biopsy of the lesion showed tuberculous granulomas within the epiglottic tissue. |
| A gurgling or choking sound could be due to epiglottic entrapment, a partial obstruction of the larynx. |
| The epiglottic elevator bar raises the epiglottis so that the ETT can enter the glottis unimpeded. |
| Our patient's epiglottic mass consisted of a dense histiocytic infiltrate that contained small, uninucleated yeasts that demonstrated no hyphae or pseudohyphae. |
| The epiglottic entrapment can be the cause of respiratory noise and poor performance. |
| Anteriorly, it extended up to the epiglottic base in the parapharyngeal space. |
