Abstract

Giant lipomas are benign soft tissue tumor found rarely in the neck and are still rarer in the anterior part of neck. Laryngeal hamartoma (LH) is a very rare lesions and the number of reported cases is limited. Herein, we report a case of 68 years old male with a history of painless, slow growing swelling on anterior neck for past 8 years and also complaints of dyspnoea and stridor for past 6 months. FNAC from anterior neck swelling was suggestive of lipoma. USG and CT findings were suggestive of soft tissue lesions. Indirect and flexible laryngoscopy shows a large pedunculated, globular mass in interarytenoid region. A complete surgical excision of the anterior neck mass and interarytenoid polyp was done. Diagnosis of lipoma and hamartoma was confirmed on histopathology. Patient was followed up for 2 years with no evidence of recurrence.
