ABSTRACT
La lipomatosis cervical múltiple es una alteración del depósito graso cervical, parte alta de tórax y extremidades superiores que genera un problema estético y eventualmente cuadros obstructivos de la vía respiratoria en aquellos casos de infiltración grasa de la laringe. Presentamos el caso de un hombre con enfermedad de Madelung y cuadro disneico agudo por infiltración grasa laríngea y lipoma obstructivo (AU)
Multiple symmetric lipomatosis is an alteration in the neck, upper trunk and upper extremities fat deposits. It produces an aesthetic problem and sometimes upper airway obstruction when the larynx is infiltrated by the mass. We report the case of a male with Madelung's disease, which began with acute dyspnea caused by laryngeal fat deposits and obstructive lipoma (AU)

Presentamos el caso clínico de una mujer de mediana edad a la que se le descubre de forma casual, practicándole una endoscopia digestiva, una formación polipoide en hipofaringe. La extirpación tumoral por vía endoscópica reveló el diagnóstico histológico de hamartoma. Revisamos los procedimientos diagnósticos y terapéuticos utilizados en esta rara entidad (AU)
We present the clinical case of a polyp in the hypopharynx discovered incidentally while performing an upper digestive endoscopy in a middle aged woman. Endoscopic resection was performed, and the histological result was a hamartomatous polyp. We review the diagnosis and treatment of this rare entity (AU)
