[Retropharyngeal lipoma].
Although ordinary lipoma is the most common neoplasm of mesenchymal origin, retropharyngeal lipoma is a very rare tumour and only about 20 cases have been reported. We present a further case of this kind and discuss its most important clinical features, diagnosis and treatment. Updated theories on the lipoma's etiology and their evolutive course are reviewed.
