ABSTRACT

We report a 49 year-old male patient, with a cavernous hemangioma of pyriform fossa. A review of the literature is performed, clinical, radiologic and pathological features of the disease are reviewed. Hemangiomas are the most common congenital lesions and occur predominantly in the head and neck region. A cavernous hemangioma of pyriform fossa is an extremely uncommon condition, with only five cases been reported in the literature so far.
