Nasopharyngeal Lipoma in an Adolescent Girl

ZA benign nasopharyngeal mass typically presents with symptoms that may mimic those of chronic rhinosinusitis, such as nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, and hyponasal speech.A nasopharyngeal mass that enlarges may extend into the oropharynx, resulting in symptoms, which may be more distressing, including foreign body sensation in the throat and choking sensation.We report a rare presentation of a nasopharyngeal mass that extended into the oropharynx in an adolescent girl, and turned out to be a nasopharyngeal lipoma.Despite a benign condition, the location of the mass, which results in distressing symptoms, requires intervention.We highlight the clinical presentation and management of this uncommon nasopharyngeal mass.

Abstract

ZA benign nasopharyngeal mass typically presents with symptoms that may mimic those of chronic rhinosinusitis, such as nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, and hyponasal speech.A nasopharyngeal mass that enlarges may extend into the oropharynx, resulting in symptoms, which may be more distressing, including foreign body sensation in the throat and choking sensation.We report a rare presentation of a nasopharyngeal mass that extended into the oropharynx in an adolescent girl, and turned out to be a nasopharyngeal lipoma.Despite a benign condition, the location of the mass, which results in distressing symptoms, requires intervention.We highlight the clinical presentation and management of this uncommon nasopharyngeal mass.
