ABSTRACT
Approximately 60% of all hemangiomas occur in the head and neck region, but hypopharyngeal hemangiomas are very rare. The diagnoses were classified depending on histopathologic findings into cavernous hemangioma, capillary hemangioma and mixed hemangioma. The treatments are sclero theraphy, surgical excision, vascular ligation, cryotheraphy, electrical cautery, ND Yag laser excision, and CO2 laser excision. We have experienced a case of hemangioma in the medial wall of the left pyriform sinus. In our case, we removed it "en bloc" without difficulty with the endoscopic CO2 laser. The histologic diagnosis was a cavernous hemangioma with no evidence of malignancy. One year after surgery, there was no evidence of residual tumors or recurrence. We report this case of cavernous hemangioma in the hypopharynx.
