This report concerns a case of an 80-year-old man with progressive dysphagia and stridor. Patient's clinical and radiological evaluation revealed a mass of the hypopharynx and a large cervical osteophyte. Microlaryngoscopy under general anaesthesia demonstrated the presence of a hypopharynx abscess that was drained. A tracheotomy was performed in order to secure the airway, and 6 weeks later, the patient was decannulated and returned to full consistency diet.
