下咽頭に限局した血管腫の1例

A localized hemangioma of hypopharynx：Report of a case

I．はじめに

　下咽頭に限局した血管腫は稀な疾患であり，その治療法としてさまざまな方法が報告されている。今回われわれは，左披裂部に発生した血管腫を経験し，KTP（postassium tinanyl phosphate）レーザーを併用した外科的摘出で良好な結果を得たので，若干の文献的考察を加えて報告する。

A 41-year-old man with a localized hemangioma of hypopharynx was reported and the previous literature was reviewed. Indirect laryngeal examination revealed an irregular-surfaced dark red mass in the left arytenoid region. Tracheotomy was performed,and the tumor was completely excised by left lateral pharygotomy with KTP laser. The postoperative course was uneventful. Histopathological examination revealed cavernous hemangioma.
