Dyspnea and dysphagia associated to hypopharyngeal fibrolipoma: A case report

Abstract: Fibrolipomas are benign lesions conformed by fat and connective tissue, classified as histologic variants of lipomas. They are rarely located in the head and neck and represent less than 0.6% of the benign tumors of the larynx and hypopharynx. Their clinical presentation depends on its location and size. We present the case of a 51-year-old male patient who reported progressive dyspnea, dysphagia and obstructive sleep symptoms with a duration of 3 months, without apparent cause. A pharyngolaryngeal fiberoptic … Show more

“…Lipomas and fibrolipomas account for approximately 80% of all lipomas, followed by intramuscular lipomas and spindle cell lipomas 1,2,12 . One of the rarest of the variants is angiofibropilopma which was initially grouped under harmatoma 11 . Kershisnik et al in 1986, described the first case of angiofibrolipomas which contained fat cells, blood vessels, and connective tissue 12 .…”
