A benign nasopharyngeal mass typically presents with symptoms that may mimic those of chronic rhinosinusitis, such as nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, and hyponasal speech. A nasopharyngeal mass that enlarges may extend into the oropharynx, resulting in symptoms, which may be more distressing, including foreign body sensation in the throat and choking sensation. We report a rare presentation of a nasopharyngeal mass that extended into the oropharynx in an adolescent girl, and turned out to be a nasopharyngeal lipoma. Despite a benign condition, the location of the mass, which results in distressing symptoms, requires intervention. We highlight the clinical presentation and management of this uncommon nasopharyngeal mass.
