Abstract

This documents the case of a 55-year-old female presenting with a solitary polypoidal tumour of the pharynx. Histological examination revealed features consistent with a gastrointestinal stromal tumour. Although well described elsewhere in the gastrointestinal tract, from our literature search, this is the first reported case of such a tumour occurring in the pharynx
