Laryngeal Lipoma: A Rare Diagnosis of Submucosal Mass with Progressive Dysphonia

Laryngeal lipomas are rare benign tumors, accounting for less than 1% of benign neoplasms in this region.This report describes the case of a 60-year-old patient with progressive dysphonia, choking episodes, and chronic throat clearing, in whom videolaryngoscopy and computed tomography identified a submucosal mass in the larynx.The patient underwent surgical excision via lateral cervicotomy, and histopathological analysis revealed a spindle cell lipoma, an uncommon variant with myxoid matrix and positive CD34 expression.The postoperative course was satisfactory, with no signs of recurrence after three months.This case highlights the importance of early differential diagnosis of laryngeal masses and the role of complete excision in achieving a favorable prognosis.Case documentation contributes to improved recognition and management of rare laryngeal tumors.
