E-Mail: Dr.zulfubirkan@yahoo.com.tr ORCID ID: 0000-0001-6404-5265 Abstract Lipomas are the most common benign mesenchymal tumors of the body. Compared to other locations, lipomas localized in the head-neck region are much more rare, with those located within the retropharyngeal and parapharyngeal spaces are among the rarest forms. Surgical treatment of lipomas is mainly due to cosmetic reasons. Moreover, since a lipoma might cause serious health problems due to its pressure causing effect by mass as well as its localization, these would also require surgical intervention. With this case presentation, we have aimed to report a 22year old case with symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, diagnosed as retropharyngeal lipoma following MRI of the cervical region, along with data from a relevant literature.
