Özet
Although lipomas are the most common benign tumors of mesenchymal origin, laringeal lipomas are rare. We report a case of laryngeal lipoma with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. A mass filling the left pyriform sinus was detected on the examination of a 52-year-old man admitted with dysphonia. The mass was originated from lateral side of left aryepiglottic fold, extending to subglottic area on the neck CT and MRI scans. The radiologic findings were compatible with laryngeal lipoma. Laryngeal lipoma, although rare, should be kept in mind for the differential diagnosis of patients admitted with dysphonia.
