Lipomas are common mesenchymal begin tumors, the head and neck localization accounts for less than 15% of the body lipomas and the laryngeal locating accounting for 0.6%. Laryngeal lipoma can be isolated and intrinsic, submucosal or even pedicled endoluminal mass. Symptoms of the laryngeal localization of this benign tumor is logically determined by its size and location. Surgical excision remains the key treatment as this tumor characterized by its high rates of local recurrence. We thus report a rare localization of this benign tumor in 76-year-old patient admitted to the emergency room for an acute laryngeal dyspnea.
