Abstract
We report a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the epipharynx. A 53-year-old female presented with bilateral nasal obstruction. Endoscopic examination showed a white round mass with vasodilation arising from the left lateral wall of the epipharynx. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an enhanced round solitary mass in the epipharynx. The tumor was completely removed by transnasal endoscopic surgery using a KTP laser, and the specimen was diagnosed as Pleomorphic adenoma. The postoperative course has been uneventful without any signs of recurrence for 1 year after surgery.
