ABSTRACT
Mucosal neuromas, or ganglioneuromas, attract attention as a frequent component of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndrome type 2B. The paper describes a clinical and morphological case of solitary oropharyngeal ganglioneuroma in a 60-year-old man, whose observation has not revealed its apparent association with the MEN syndrome.

The paper presents a case of rare localization histiocytoma of the oropharynx. Some authors consider the existence of this category of tumors controversial, others prefer to consider them tumors of unclear Genesis. Benign fibrous histiocytoma is quite common in the form of a small node with fairly clear boundaries, most often localized on the skin of various parts of the body. We have not found any cases of fibrous histiocytoma localization in the head and neck in the available literature. Given the results of the patient survey (data endoscopy, ultrasound soft tissues of the neck and MRI neck) were diagnosed with benign tumors retrofaringealny space and, given its location, the decision about the feasibility of transoral removal of the tumor with subsequent histological examination of tissue.
