A peculiarity of the clinical case is the appearance after the biopsy of massive pharyngeal bleeding from the leak into the larynx, which required urgent tracheostomy and dressing of the external carotid artery. The tumor is removed by external access, a week after the elimination of complications. The result of histological examination is rhabdomyoma.
