Abstract

Dendritic fibromyxolipoma (DFML) is an uncommon, benign soft tissue tumor. It is seldom reported in the hypopharynx. However, its endoscopic appearance may mimic an aggressive soft tissue neoplasm hence the importance of its recognition. We discuss a rare case of DFML of the pyriform fossa in a 66-year-old male who presented with progressive hoarseness. The histopathological diagnosis was made following conservative excision of the mass using carbon dioxide laser, preserving swallowing and voice.
