Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Globus pharyngeus is a common condition often associated with functional or psychological causes.
  • Diagnostic workup typically includes laryngoscopy and barium swallow, which can be normal in many cases.

Observation:

  • A 69-year-old female presented with persistent globus pharyngeus symptoms despite a normal barium swallow examination.
  • Pharyngoscopy revealed a post-cricoid polyp, which was subsequently removed.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed the polyp to be a lymphangioma, a benign tumor of lymphatic vessels.
  • The patient's globus pharyngeus symptoms resolved completely after the surgical removal of the lymphangioma.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of thorough investigation for rare underlying pathologies in persistent globus pharyngeus.
  • Lymphangiomas, though rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neck masses or pharyngeal lesions causing obstructive symptoms.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical excision are crucial for effective management and symptom resolution.
