A deep neck abscess presenting as a hypopharyngeal carcinoma

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Neck abscesses and deep neck infections are common diseases. However, deep neck abscesses presenting as neck tumors are unusual and have seldom been described. In this report, we describe a case of deep neck abscess and persistent lymphadenopathy that presented as a hypopharyngeal carcinoma under indirect laryngoscopy and computerized tomography. The relationship between deep neck abscesses and neck tumors is discussed.
