“…Retention cysts are the most common benign lesions of the pharynx, albeit rare. In a recent literature review 12 of hypopharyngeal retention cysts, the authors noted that these cases are likely underestimated as 50% of the lesions are not easily visible on endoscopy due to their submucosal origin and normal overlying mucosa. In contrast to this case presentation, it is suggested that these pharyngeal cysts rarely become secondarily infected and that recurrence after surgical management is uncommon.…”

“…In contrast to this case presentation, it is suggested that these pharyngeal cysts rarely become secondarily infected and that recurrence after surgical management is uncommon. 12 Abscesses originating in the hypopharyngeal wall are extremely scarce and unlike this case, and are typically secondary to a foreign body, [13][14][15] phlegmonous esophagogastritis, 16,17 or as a complication of cervical osteophytes. 18 Likewise, a pharyngeal infection may be an initial presenting symptom of hypopharyngeal cancer, due to necrotic lymph nodes and subsequent abscess formation.…”

Pharyngeal abscesses require urgent management as they have the propensity to cause severe and life-threatening complications. The introduction of antibiotics has led to a dramatic decline in the incidence of these infections. Regardless, abscess formation continues to be observed in the peritonsillar, parapharyngeal, and retropharyngeal spaces. Oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal abscesses that cause airway obstruction are scarcely reported and tend to be secondary to other processes. Herein, we describe the case of an 83-year-old man presenting with an idiopathic, obstructive, oropharyngeal wall abscess, extending from the infratonsillar region to the hypopharynx, which recurred after initial surgical management 12 years prior for the same process. He required reintervention during both episodes for rapid reaccumulation. A detailed electronic literature search of PubMed and MedLine was performed for studies reporting on recurrent pharyngeal abscesses and their management. Results were limited to articles published in English from inception to August 2021. The timely management of pharyngeal infections acutely obstructing the airway is crucial. Physicians should adopt close and frequent monitoring and have a low threshold for reimaging should symptoms worsen or fail to improve after the initial surgical intervention.

Adult-onset lymphatic malformations arising at the postcricoid, a subsite of the hypopharynx, are sporadic. Only one case has been previously reported. In this study, we presented a 36-year-old female presented with globus sensation, dysphagia, and upper airway obstruction, requiring a tracheostomy. A computed tomography scan identified a 5 cm × 4.5 cm × 3 cm multilocular hypodense lesion in the postcricoid. Due to its considerable size, complete resection with function preservation was crucial, and a standard microscopic direct laryngoscopy approach may result in inadequate exposure, while an open transcervical approach may affect functional outcomes and increase surgical complications. We successfully performed an en bloc resection with a transoral endoscopic approach, using laryngeal suspension and a laparoscopic ultrasonic scalpel to preserve aerodigestive functions, ensure rapid recovery, and avoid neck scarring. The patient was decannulated within 2 weeks and remained disease-free after 1 year. The reported cases of adult-onset lymphatic malformations at the postcricoid and hypopharynx were reviewed and summarized for educational purposes.
