Laryngeal Spindle Cell/Pleomorphic Lipoma: A Case Report. An in depth review of the adipocytic tumors

Spindle cell/pleomorphic lipomas are a rare form of lipomatous tumors. They typically occur as a slow growing localized mass in the subcutaneous fatty tissue of the posterior neck, back and shoulders. This benign variant represents less than 1.5% of all lipomas and are relatively uncommon in the head and neck area. A manifestation in the larynx is even rarer. Unlike other anatomical locations, laryngeal lipomas can pose life-threatening symptoms secondary to acute obstruction of the upper aerodigestive tract.
