This lesion, which was encapsulated, arose from the left para-laryngeal space and presented an intra-luminal projecting portion that extended to the level of the hyoid bone (Figure 2), therefore exerting a compression on the pyriform sinus and the larynx, with respect to the neck vessels (Figure 3).
