Abstract:
Angiolipoma is a benign mesenchymal tumor and its occurrence in head and neck region is very rare. Only 2 cases of Laryngeal angiolipomas have been reported in the medical literature. We present one such rare case in a 32-year-old male who presented with complaints of change in voice and foreign body sensation in the throat since past 9 months along with features suggestive of obstructive sleep apnoea and dysphagia. Contrast enhanced CT scan of the neck showed a cystic lesion arising from right ventricle extending superiorly till the vallecula, partially obstructing the airway. Suspecting a supraglottic cyst, trans-oral microlaryngoscopic KTP-532 laser assisted excision was planned, intraoperatively a solid tumor was encountered. We discuss herein the clinical presentation and management of this rare neoplasm with review of literature.
