What is Pharyngeal Tumor?

Pharyngeal tumor is another name for a tumor in the throat. These can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Common symptoms include difficulty swallowing and persistent sore threat. Diagnosis is made via biopsy of an abnormality seen on visual exam or on scans.

Typical Symptoms of Pharyngeal Tumor

Diagnostic Questions for Pharyngeal Tumor

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Do you have difficulty swallowing?
  • Do you have any swollen lymph nodes or lumps in your neck, armpits, groin, or behind your ears?
  • Do you experience wheezing or whistling sounds when breathing?
  • Are you experiencing difficulty breathing?
  • Do you have painless redness or ulcers in your mouth?

Treatment of Pharyngeal Tumor

After a biopsy confirms the diagnosis of a cancer, scans are ordered to determine the extent of the tumor and whether it has spread to lump nodes or elsewhere. The treatment plan is then developed which may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or a combination of these.
