Abstract
An occurrence of a lipoma (fibrolipoma), having its origin on the anterior surface of the epiglottis, with surgical removal in 1947, and then another lipoma (fibrolipoma) in the same patient in 1961, with its origin at the inferior pole of the right tonsil and the adjacent hypopharyngeal area, with surgical removal, is herein reported. Roentgenograms, photographs, and pathological sections of each excised lipoma have been shown. This report is unique, not only because 2 lipomata[long dash]14 years apart[long dash]occurred in the upper respiratory tract in the same individual, but because the first lipoma had occurred on the anterior surface of the epiglottis, the only case of such point of origin ever reported.
