METHOD:
We present the case of a 39-year-old man who had been seen at another
centre for clinical symptoms of dysphonia that had been evolving for
months. He was referred for pathological findings of an inflammatory
myofibroblastic tumour of the right vocal cord after biopsy by direct
laryngoscopy. The patient had no personal history of interest or toxic
habits, he was not a smoker or drinker and did not report any
consumption of illicit substances. The blood count and coagulation were
normal, with the only abnormal finding in the biochemical study being
LDL cholesterol 280 mg/dl. During the examination, the patient presented
symptoms of dysphonia and pharyngolaryngeal foreign body sensation of
months of evolution. The fibrolaryngoscopic examination revealed a
lesion with the appearance of a pedunculated angiomatous polyp
<1 cm in its longest axis, in the anterior third of the right
vocal fold, without involvement of the anterior commissure (Image 1).
The rest of the physical examination was normal, and no cervical
lymphadenopathy was observed during the cervical examination.
