Introduction: Calcifying fibrous pseudotumor is a benign soft tissue tumor, appearing mainly in children and young adults between 20 and 30 years of age, still without a clear and defined etiology. It has a variable body distribution, being relatively uncommon in the neck. Case report: We present the case of a 17-year-old teenager female patient with a fast-growing neck tumor; its manifestation was moderate localized pain, excessive snoring, and progressive respiratory distress. Treatment: Complete resection of the tumor located in the hypopharynx was performed, which confirmed the histopathological and immunohistochemical diagnosis of calcifying fibrous pseudotumor. Conclusion: Calcifying fibrous pseudotumor of the neck is a benign pathology, rare, with non-specific symptoms, and most probably by the tumor compressing the surrounding tissues. Surgical resolution remains the gold standard for treatment. The prognosis after resection is good in the long term, with low recurrence rates. The diagnostic and therapeutic approach in this teenage patient is discussed compared to that described in the literature.
