Hemorrhagic cyst of the oral pharynx

Hemorrhagic cysts are abnormal lesions of the neck which have had an episode of bleeding (hemorrhage) within the lesion.

This can occur due to trauma, infection or tumor and the bleeding is often associated with an immediate onset of pain and other symptoms.

Dental work can limit visualization of the mouth as it distorts the imaged area, and thus the mouth is best visualized by your dentist.
