Lipomas are common tumours. However. they are a rare occurrence in the larynx. They are an unusual cause for hoarseness of voice and may at times present acutely with respiratory distress due to significant airway compromise. The characteristic imaging features help to differentiate it from laryngeal malignancy and other common pathologies. We present a case of a laryngeal lipoma arising from the aryepiglottic fold, which was diagnosed on imaging and confirmed on histopathological examination after surgical excision. We also briefly discuss the differential diagnosis of this entity.
