Laryngeal angiolipoma is a benign and rare tumor at this level. It is a type of unique lipoma, which is located in aritenoepiglottic retraction, epiglottis, and postcricoid region, and It is usually diagnosed after surgical exeresis. It is usually silent until it reaches a large size, causing dysphagia as the most common symptom; so it should be part of the differential diagnosis of odynophagia. We present a case in a male patient of supraglottic angiolipoma as an unusual cause of odynophagia.
