A Case of Neurilemmoma of the Posterior Wall of the Hypopharynx
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Neurilemmoma is a relatively rare benign tumor which may be derived from nerve sheath of the peripheral and cranial nerve. And it is a characteristically solitary and well-encapsulated mass. About 25% of neurilemmoma occurs in the head and neck
region
and therefore the vestibular nerve is most frequently involved. Neurilemmoma arising in the posterior wall of the hypopharynx is thus quite rare. In this study, we report a recent encounter with a case of neurilemmoma originating from the
posterior
wall
of the hypoparynx in a 44 year old male patient. The tumor was successfully removed by lateral pharyngotomy under general anesthesia.
