Pharyngo-oesophageal haemangioma with a positive cough impulse.
Benign tumours of both the pharynx and oesophagus are rarely seen, cavernous haemangiomas even less so. We present a case in which a large lesion was the cause of non-specific symptoms but which only appeared intermittently on nasendoscopic examination of the pharynx.
