    Area of Science:

    • Pathology
    • Otorhinolaryngology
    • Medical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Pedunculated tumors of the hypopharynx are rare.
    • Benign tumors can occasionally lead to severe complications.

    Observation:

    • A case report details a 35-year-old male who succumbed to suffocation.
    • The cause was identified as a benign pedunculated hypopharynx tumor.

    Findings:

    • Autopsy revealed a previously undiagnosed tumor in the hypopharynx.
    • Histological examination confirmed the tumor to be a fibrolipoma.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the potential for even benign hypopharyngeal tumors to cause fatal airway obstruction.
    • Highlights the importance of thorough autopsy in identifying the cause of unexpected deaths.
