Abstract

A case of hypopharyngeal lymphangioma is reported. A 48-year-old female visited our clinic complaining of ill-sensation in neck portion. The laryngoscopic examination revealed a gray-brown colored mass in the left pyriform sinus. Other examinations, including CT and contrast medium roentgenography, showed that the mass was located only in the pyriform sinus.
Surgical removal of the mass was done by means of lateral pharyngotomy. Pathological examination revealed the cavernous lymphangioma.
