Two cases of intrinsic laryngeal lipoma are added to the twenty-four cases recorded previously. Lipoma may occur anywhere beneath the skin over the entire body. In the larynx these tumours lie rather deep and it is therefore important to obtain a deep tissue biopsy. It is possible to remove a substantial part of the swelling endoscopically and to relieve the patient's symptoms. We feel that lipoma of the larynx may be more common than has hitherto been reported in the literature.
