We present a rare case of a cystic posterior pharyngeal wall mass in a 5 year old child in whom prior surgery without biopsy led to considerable delay in both diagnosis and definitive treatment. The child presented with recurrent aspiration pneumonia, dysphagia and obstructed breathing from birth. Transoral wide excisional biopsy established the diagnosis of foregut duplication cyst. Only seven reported cases have been described in the English language literature till date.
我们报告一例罕见的5岁儿童咽后壁囊性肿物病例,此前未进行活检的手术导致诊断和确定性治疗均出现相当大的延迟。该患儿自出生以来反复出现吸入性肺炎、吞咽困难和呼吸受阻。经口广泛切除活检确诊为前肠重复囊肿。迄今为止,英文文献中仅报道过7例此类病例。
