<p class="abstract">The incidence of lipoma in the laryngeal region is rare. Here we report a case of left false cord lipoma in a 78 years old man who presented with hoarseness for 2 years. Clinically, a bulge with a smooth surface was seen at the left false cord. Intraoperatively, the specimen taken from the left false cord appeared yellowish and was floating on normal saline solution giving a suspect to lipoma. Histologically, the tumors composed of mature adipose tissue. Postoperatively, the patient recovered well with no signs of recurrence.</p>

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) of the head and neck are a rare and diverse group of tumors. Here, we report a case of a 40-year-old man presenting with symptoms resembling chronic left otitis media, including left ear otorrhea, otalgia, and reduced hearing. Otoscopic examination revealed a whitish mass located behind the tympanic membrane. The patient underwent examination under anesthesia and left cortical mastoidectomy, and a histopathological examination of the middle ear biopsy indicated the presence of an epithelial tumor with neuroendocrine differentiation, suggestive of middle ear adenoma. A staging CT scan performed three months after the mastoidectomy showed a hypodensity in the middle ear cavity, with no significant bony erosion, which could potentially indicate a residual or recurrent tumor. Consequently, a radical mastoidectomy was performed. The histopathological examination confirmed the presence of middle ear adenoma with neuroendocrine differentiation.
