  • Title: [Intramuscular hemangioma of the posterior wall of the pharynx. Diagnosis and differential diagnosis].
    Author: Ussmüller J, Hartwein J.
    Journal: Laryngorhinootologie; 1992 Nov; 71(11):568-71. PubMed ID: 1463565.
    Abstract:
    We report on the case of a seven-year old boy who developed an enlarged swelling of the oropharynx. Clinical examination revealed a well demarcated cystic tumour. Histopathologically the diagnosis of an intramuscular haemangioma could be made because of the multitude of vascular spaces filled with erythrocytes lying between bundles of smooth muscles. Such a lesion coming from the posterior wall of the oropharynx is not described in literature. In differential diagnosis the angiosarcoma and the arteriovenous aneurysm must have been involved since there were multiple arteries and veins lying close together in couples. Moreover the adenotomia carried out one and a half year earlier prompted us to think about the possibility of a traumatic arteriovenous fistula.
