Abstract
Ganglion cyst in the head and neck region is rare. We describe a case of ganglion cyst in the retropharyngeal region in a 79-year-old man. The patient complained of an uncomfortable feeling in the throat while swallowing. On physical examination, a submucosal mass was found in the posterior pharyngeal wall. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 16×13×12 mm cystic mass protruding into the pharynx. A well-circumscribed cystic mass was completely removed by surgery via the transoral approach. The histological diagnosis was ganglion cyst. The postoperative course was uneventful and follow-up has revealed no recurrence until date, more than 2 years since the surgery.<br>
