We report a scarce case of granular cell tumor of the hypopharynx, adding to the rare count of this entity in this localization, in a 74 years-old female patient. Case presentation : We add to the literature arsenal of this entity by reporting this rare case of benign of granular cell tumor of the hypopharynx in A 74 years-old female patient with hypertension, suffered from dysphonia for about 6 months. Examination identified a budding tumor in the left piriform sinus. Ct scan showcased a 1 cm irregular, spontaneously hypodense, slightly enhanced after injection mass, infiltrating the left piriform sinus. Excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis and follow-up was uneventful.
