Abstract
We report two cases of giant soft tissue tumor of the hypopharynx.
Patient 1：A 61-year-old man presented with a smooth-surfaced pedunculated soft tissue tumor in the postcricoid of the hypopharynx but had no incarceration in the larynx and underwent surgical treatment on an elective basis. Postoperative pathological examination revealed a giant vascular fiber polyp.
Patient 2：A 60-year-old woman was transported to our hospital due to nausea and vomiting. A tumor protruded out of the oral cavity. She had two smooth-surfaced pedunculated soft tissue tumors on the posterior wall of the hypopharynx and underwent emergency surgery due to the risk of airway stenosis. Postoperative pathological examination revealed well-differentiated liposarcoma, but the course was good without recurrence.
Giant soft tissue sarcoma of the hypopharynx, a very rare disease, may require emergency surgery due to the potential for choking associated with incarceration in the larynx.
