Abstract
Benign neoplasms of the laryngopharynx are extremely rare. Hereby we present 3 such interesting cases managed at our institute. While one was managed by conventional endoscopic route the other two required external approach. Even in the present era of endoscopic surgery sometimes these lesions necessitates external approach owing to anatomical distortion causing difficulty in intubation and/or inadequate exposure of the lesion. All these cases highlights the need of a competent surgeon to treat benign laryngopharyngeal lesions.Entities:
