[A case of lipoma in a pharyngeal site].
The Authors describe a clinical case of lipoma examined by them in a retropharyngeal site. Reports published in literature show the extreme rarity of a pharyngeal localization of lipomas. The symptomatology and numerous differential diagnoses are examined. Of the instrumental diagnostic examinations, the stratigraphy of the pharynx and CAT were decisive in identifying the benign nature of the neoformation. In the clinical case described, needle biopsy did not produce any decisive diagnostic elements. In agreement with other Authors, the therapy of choice to be followed is a surgical procedure.
