“…There male-tofemale ratio is 5:1 and they often occur in the sixth decade of life. 7 Laryngeal lipomas appears as pseudocystic pedunculated, single and straight surfaced lesions. 8 On contrast enhance computed tomography (CT) scan, adipose tissue visualize as non-enhancing, homogenous low-density areas (ranging within -64 to -123 Hounsfield unit).…”

Lipomas are the most common subcutaneous tumors. Intralaryngeal lipoma comprises 0.1% of all benign laryngeal tumors. Slow and insidious growth, for a long time; these may give rise to symptoms due to physical discomfort due to their size and compression on surrounding structures. Lipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors with rare localization in the upper aero-digestive tract. Intralaryngeal lipoma may present with clinical features including; feeling of a lump in the throat, cough and airway obstruction, stridor and dyspnea on exertion or even at rest may be present in more severe cases. We present a case of a 32 years old male patient with the complaint of gradually change of voice and dysphagia and difficulty in breathing on extreme physical activity for 5 months. Total removal of these lesions is important to avoid recurrences, a possibility that has been described in the Literature. The possibility of recurrence after long free-intervals should be borne in mind; thus, an extended period of long-term follow-up is mandatory.

“…Microscopically, lipomas are composed of mature adipose tissue with no cellular atypia. 6 Histologically, lipomas could be simple (80% of the cases) or variants (20%) such as spindle cell lipomas, fibrolipomas, angiolipomas, myxolipomas and atypical lipomas. 2 Even on histopathological examination, a differentiation between a well differentiated liposarcoma and a benign lipoma can be challenging.…”

Lipoma at an unusual site - an intrinsic laryngeal lipoma involving the aryepiglottic fold

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.

“…The elective treatment of a laryngeal lipoma is radical surgical excision to reduce the chances of recurrence. Depending on the size and location of the tumor, endoscopic removal, with or without CO 2 laser, is indicated for lipomas smaller than 2 cm [36,37]. On the contrary, for non-pedunculated tumors or tumors larger than 2 cm, the definitive treatment is through an open technique with an external approach (thyrotomy, trans-hyoid pharyngotomy or lateral pharyngotomy) [36,38].…”

Madelung’s Disease (MD), also known as benign multiple symmetric lipomatosis or Launois-Bensaude syndrome, is a rare condition. The characteristic feature is the presence of numerous diffuse lipomas at the level of the neck or upper limbs. The etiology is unknown, but a close association with ethyl abuse has been observed. The use of radiological examinations such as ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging is helpful for the differential diagnosis. There are two classifications mainly used: The Enzi classification and the Donhauser classification. In this article we present a case of MD with laryngeal localization. A 50-year-old man was referred to our department complaining of dysphonia for about 6 months. An abnormal and diffuse enlargement of the anterior part of the neck was noticed, compatible with “Madelung’s Collar”. Fiberoptic examination of the larynx revealed the presence of a lipomatous-like neoformation of the left false vocal cord. The patient underwent surgical removal of the laryngeal neoformation with transoral laser microsurgery. With this article we suggest a possible diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for the treatment of laryngeal lipomatosis. Keywords: Lipoma; TML; Larynx; Dysphonia; ENT
