A 44-year-old man visited our clinic with discomfort of the pharynx. Flexible endoscopy revealed a large, smooth, red-brown tumor on the posterior wall of the pharynx. This tumor obstructed the view of the glottis and extended to the level of the epiglottis. A CT scan revealed a well-defined low density mass with an enhanced rim.
We performed surgical resection through a lateral pharyngotomy. The tumor was diagnosed pathologically as cavernous lymphangioma.
