Abstract
Although fibrolipomas are common benign mesenchymal tumors and are frequently found in trunk and limbs, their occurrence in head and neck is rare and still rarer is their endolaryngeal presence. They may cause clinical dilemma due to their rarity and varied clinical presentations from progressive dysphagia to acute airway obstruction. We present a case of laryngeal fibrolipoma in an adult Indian male who presented with progressive obstructive sleep apnea and sudden appearance of a mass in oral cavity which was removed via transoral endoscopic approach. Keywords– Fibrolipoma larynx, lipoma, obstructive sleep apnea, transoral excision
