Atypical Spindle Cell Lipoma of the Larynx: Case Report
Authors: Micaela Redivo, María del Pilar Minghera, Federica Fernandez Long, Carlos Santiago Ruggeri
Abstract
We describe the case of a male patient who presented with dysphonia and inspiratory dyspnea that had been present for 3 months. A contrast-enhanced neck CT scan diagnosed an expansile lesion in the left pyriform sinus, with fatty density and mild enhancement with intravenous contrast. The biopsy result was an atypical spindle cell lipoma. It was resected using transoral microsurgery with cautery, avoiding a tracheostomy. Two weeks later, he was able to feed orally. During the 36-month follow-up, he had no recurrences.
