Abstract

In this article, we report two rare cases of lipoma in the head and neck region. Thirty-four-year-old case 1 presented with hoarseness and sensation of foreign body in throat. While 54-year-old case 2 presented with complaint of a mass in left side of neck. The imaging methods showed the masses in false vocal fold and the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Diagnosis and treatment of the masses were discussed in light of the literature.
