Myxoma of the Pharynx

Myxoma of the Pharynx

Abstract

MYXOMA is a rare solitary, soft, slimy infiltrative growth which never metastasizes. It is a peculiar form of mesenchymal tumor which reproduces the structures of the mucoid connective tissue of the umbilical cord (Wharton's jelly). It occurs in the heart, skin, subcutaneous and aponeurotic tissues, and the genitourinary tract. The purpose of this communication is to report an interesting case of myxoma in the hypopharynx. Report of a Case History.—A 15-year-old Hindu boy came to the ENT department on Sept 7, 1968 with the complaints of difficulty in swallowing solids for three months, nasal regurgitation, and change in voice for two months. There was no history of dyspnea or hemoptysis. Examination.—General examination revealed a young boy of average build with a "throaty" voice. Systemic examination showed no abnormality. Local examination of the pharynx revealed a pinkish lobulated, smooth, mobile mass partially filling the oropharynx and pushing the epiglottis
