Abstract:
This report presents a rare case of a mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the posterior pharyngeal wall of the hypopharynx. Excision of the lesion was performed by transoral robotic surgery (TORS). The rarity of hypopharyngeal mucoepidermoid carcinoma and the technical advantages of TORS are presented and discussed in this study.
