ABSTRACT
We describe the startling case of a man who was able to extend and retract a smooth round mass in and out of his oropharynx at will. On examination under anesthesia, the mass was found to be attached to the posterior tonsillar pillar by a stalk. The lesion was excised, and histopathology determined that it was a chondrolipoma. We believe that this is the first report of a chondrolipoma at this anatomic site.
