Lipomas are common benign connective tissue tumours composed of adult adipose tissue. They are relatively rare in the upper aerodigestive tract, although they occur with considerable frequency in other areas, particularly in the subcutaneous tissues of the neck. Although there are several reports of this tumour occurring in the oropharynx, there is no recorded case of a lipoma of the tonsillar fossa. An 83-year-old man with a left tonsillar fossa lipoma is presented. Clinical presentation, management and a literature review are discussed.
脂肪瘤是由成人脂肪组织构成的常见良性结缔组织肿瘤。它们在上呼吸道消化道相对少见，尽管在其他部位相当常见，尤其是颈部皮下组织。虽然有几例关于该肿瘤发生于口咽的报道，但扁桃体窝脂肪瘤尚无病例记录。本文报道了一名患有左侧扁桃体窝脂肪瘤的83岁男性患者。讨论了临床表现、治疗方法及文献综述。
