Lymphoid hamartoma of larynx

An unreported case of metachronous coexistence of laryngeal pseudolymphoma and squamous cell carcinoma is described. The long follow-up of the patient (above 11 years), without any evidence of lymphoreticular disease elsewhere, was in favor of a diagnosis of lymphoid hyperplasia of the larynx. The occurrence in the same organ of a squamous cell carcinoma has allowed the thorough investigation of the reactive lesion. The additional cases of laryngeal pseudolymphoma reported in the English literature are reviewed.

Hamartomas of larynx are rare benign lesions which can be a rare cause for respiratory obstruction. This report highlights the case of a young female who presented with foreign body sensation and worm-like mass in throat of 10 years duration. On videolaryngoscopy, a pinkish polypoidal worm like mass was seen arising from the right side of epiglottis on the laryngeal surface. Endoscopic guided excision with cautery was done and the mass revealed hamartoma on histopathology.

[23][24][25][26] Castleman disease presenting as an isolated soft tissue mass in the extremities is exceptionally uncommon. [10][11][12][17][18][19] There have been only seven other cases reported in the literature, the salient features of which are presented in Table 1.…”
