ABSTRACT

We reported a case of children's OSAHS caused by the huge fibrolipoma in pharynx nasalis. The patient was a 10-years-old child who went to the hospital with the chief complaint of "Snoring and mouth breathing during sleep for 10 years". Imaging tests found one huge tumor in pharynx nasalis before the operation. The tumor was resected totally. The postoperative pathological diagnosis was fibrolipoma. No recurrence was noted during the follow-up visit one year postoperatively. The clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, pathology and prognosis were reviewed herein.
