We discuss a case of 53 year old man who presented with dysphagia and a pink mass behind the soft palate. He was a chronic smoker and alcoholic and had no co morbidities. The patient underwent surgical excision of the mass under general anesthesia. Mass was excised fully and histopathology determined it as a chondromatous metaplasia of larynx. Post operative period was uneventful and there was no recurrence of the lesion. We believe that chondromatous metaplasia of oropharynx is extremely rare.
