Solitary neurofibroma of the oropharynx is extremely rare. Imaging explorations may be necessary, but the diagnostic certainty is pathological. We report a case of benign tumour of the oropharynx in a 25-year-old woman who was seen for a consultation with dysphagia, a change in voice and dyspnea in the supine position. The excision was performed under general anaesthesia with orotracheal intubation via the oropharyngeal route. Pathological examination of the surgical specimen revealed neurofibroma. Although rare, solitary neurofibroma of the oropharynx should be considered in any benign tumour in the area.
口咽部孤立性神经纤维瘤极为罕见。可能需要进行影像学检查,但明确诊断依赖于病理检查。我们报告了 1 例 25 岁女性口咽良性肿瘤病例,患者因吞咽困难、声音改变和仰卧位呼吸困难就诊。手术在全身麻醉下经口咽部行气管插管进行。手术标本的病理检查显示为神经纤维瘤。尽管罕见,但在该区域任何良性肿瘤中都应考虑到口咽部孤立性神经纤维瘤的可能性。
