Abstract

A Large pedunculated neurofibrolipoma involving the hypopharynx is a very rare entity. Patient with hypopharyngeal polyp usually presents with progressive dyaphagia, sensation of persistent lump in throat and difficulty in breathing. Regurgitation of the mass into the airway can led to fatal asphyxiation on several occasions and may rarely cause death also if not evaluated and treated timely. Malignant degeneration of these large polyps occurs infrequently. We encountered a case with similar complaints in our outpatient department. After complete clinical examination, radiological investigations and anaesthetic evaluation; patient was taken for elective tracheostomy first and subsequently followed by successful transoral endoscopic excision of hypopharyngeal polypoidal mass. The histopathological examination of mass revealed it to be a neurofibrolipoma.
