Tumors of the laryngopharynx

Of benign tumors of the laryngopharynx, the most common are papilloma, somewhat less often - hemangioma, rarely - neoplasms, developing from muscle tissue (leiomyoma, rhabdomyoma), neurin, fibroma, etc.

Malignant tumors of the oropharynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Of malignant tumors of the oropharynx, cancer is observed more often, rarely sarcoma, and lymphoepithelioma and lymphomas are rarely seen. Malignant tumors develop mainly in individuals over 40 years of age.

Benign tumors of the oropharynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Neoplasms of the middle pharynx make, according to different authors, from 0.5 to 5% of all human tumors. As well as neoplasms of other localizations, tumor lesions of the oropharynx are liable to tumor-like formations and true tumors. True tumors can be benign and malignant.

Tumors of the pharynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

To tumor-like formations include pathological processes and conditions, which are characterized by some signs of prostate tumors - growth, a tendency to relapse after removal.

Benign tumors of the nasopharynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

The most common benign tumors of the nasopharynx of the papilloma and juvenile (juvenile) angiofibroma. Papilloma is more often localized on the back surface of the soft palate, less often on the side and back walls of the nasopharynx.

Malignant tumors of the nasopharynx: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Of the malignant tumors of the nasopharynx most often develops cancer. According to the research, malignant tumors of the nasopharynx make up 0.25-2% of malignant tumors of all localizations and 40% of malignant tumors of the pharynx.

Faringomicosis

Pharyngomycosis (tonsillomycosis, fungal infection of the oral cavity, fungal pharyngitis, fungal tonsillitis, fungal infection of the pharynx, thrush) - pharyngitis (tonsillitis) caused by fungi.

Hypertrophy of the tonsils

Hypertrophy of the tonsils (hypertrophic tonsillitis), like hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil, most often occurs in childhood as a manifestation of a common lymphatic constitution. In most cases, there are no inflammatory changes in hypertrophied tonsils.

Adenoidite

Adenoiditis is a chronic inflammatory process in the pharyngeal tonsil of an infectious-allergic nature, which develops as a result of the disruption of the physiological processes between the macro- and microorganism.

Adenoids

Adenoids (hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil, adenoid vegetations) - hyperplasia of the pharyngeal tonsil that occurs in certain situations.
