While lipomas on the trunk and limbs are common, they are rare in the upper aerodigestive tract. A case is reported of an 18 cm long pedunculated lipoma arising from the hypopharynx in a 73 year old man. The tumour was asymptomatic until it appeared in the mouth of the patient after a coughing episode.
虽然躯干和四肢的脂肪瘤很常见，但在上消化道却很少见。本文报道了一例73岁男性患者，其下咽部长出一个18厘米长的带蒂脂肪瘤。在一次咳嗽发作后肿瘤出现在患者口腔之前，该肿瘤一直无症状。
