Abstract

A 74-year-old woman presented with nasal obstruction and voice change for the previous 5 months. She underwent a neck CT and a submucosal mass with focal fat density (-32 HU) was found at the nasopharynx. She underwent an endoscopic excisional biopsy and the pathology revealed the lipoma in the nasopharynx.

74세 여자가 5개월간의 코막힘과 목소리 변화를 주소로 내원하였다. 환자는 경부 전산화단층촬영을 시행하였고 코인두에 지방(-32 HU)을 포함하고 있는 점막하종괴가 발견되었다. 환자는 내시경 절제생검을 시행하였고 코인두의 지방종으로 확인되었다.
