Abstract
- Benign tumors of the hypopharynx are uncommon and papillomas are quite rare. Papillomas grow very slowly and they are well defined, mobile and sometimes pedunculated masses. In order to minimize the patient's discomfort, many endoscopists tend to pass the scope quickly through the throat, without trying to visualize the oral and hypopharyngeal lesion. As for the treatment of hypopharyngeal lesions, cases of endoscopic treatment are rare and any guidelines have not yet been defined. We present here a case of endoscopic removal of a hypopharyngeal papilloma with the patient under general anesthesia and nasotracheal intubation.
