Abstract

A 20-year-old male patient presented with a left cervical solid indolent swelling. On mirror examination a prominence in the lateral wall of the oro- and hypopharynx and, in the throat, a solid indolent and easily movable swelling in regions II-III were seen. B-mode and Doppler ultrasound demonstrated a sharply defined, hypoechoic, inhomogeneous mass without perfusion, while on MRI a contrast-enhancing left pharyngeal homogenous mass causing carotid artery and jugular vein displacement was seen. No invasive growth was observed.
