Sumario:A case of squamous cell carcinoma with sarcomatous stroma of the mesopharynx is presented. The patient was a 62-year-old man who complained of a foreign body sensation. Endoscopic examination revealed a large pedunculated mass arising from the posterior wall of the mesopharynx. The lesion was surgically resected, using a cutting snare by the endo-oral approach, and was completely removed. A diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma with sarcomatous stroma was made histopathologically. The clinicopathological features of this case are described and compared with those of previously reported cases.
