Adult hypopharyngeal hemangiomas are uncommon neoplasms. Adult hypopharyngeal hemangiomas are relatively easily diagnosed in flexible laryngoscopy, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We reported 2 such cases. A 72-years-old woman seen for a hypopharyngeal lesion observed in flexible laryngoscopy was successfully treated by fulguration using a CO2 laser, and shows no recurrence as of this writing. A 64-years-old woman seen for hemorrhage and a feeling of a foreign-body presence, showed no lesion in flexible laryngoscopy of the hypopharynx. Direct laryngoscopy however showed cervical esophageal lesion with a very thin neck extending from the postcricoid area. The lesion was removed by cutting this neck. Histopathological examination thus detected these cavernous hemangiomas. We believe that our findings provide important information on both direct laryngoscopy and the basis of these lesions.
