Description

A 24-year-old Japanese man was admitted to the Kohjinkai Hospital, with complaints of severe obstructive dysphagia and dyspnea. Fiberscopic examinations showed a large yellowish tumor occupying the epi- and the mesopharyngeal cavity and the posterior half of the oral cavity. The stalk of the tumor was present at the right pharyngeal side of the soft palate, near the pharyngeal orifice. The tumor was removed and cystic lymphangioma of the soft palate was diagnosed histopathologically. The tumor also contained a lymphangioendothelioma-like area.
