Abstract
Lipoma is a benign tumor of mesenchymal origin with a very rare occurrence in the upper aero digestive tract. Because isolated laryngeal lipoma symptoms are uncharacteristic and often has no systemic manifestation, clinical diagnosis is difficult. Accurate diagnosis on imaging such as computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging scan can prevent unnecessary biopsy. Here we report a case of right false cord lipoma in a 76 years old man who presented with hoarseness for 4 months.
