Popis:	Hypopharynx hemangioma is a rare disease. We reported a case of a 63-year-old woman who complained of laryngeal discomfort of nine months. Fiberscopy demonstrated a tumor with dark red, regular smooth surface that was located at the left piriform sinus.The tumor was completely excised by Holmium YAG laser. Histological examination revealed that it was a cavernous hemangioma.Recurrence of the tumor has not been observed in the three months since the surgery. The authors considered the effectiveness of the Holmium YAG laser in this case.
