ABSTRACT
Laryngeal angiolipoma is a benign and rare tumor at this level. It is a type of unique lipoma, which is located in aritenoepiglottic retraction, epiglottis, and postcricoid region, and it is usually diagnosed after surgical exeresis. It is usually silent until it reaches a large size, causing dysphagia as the most common symptom; so it should be part of the differential diagnosis of odynophagia. We present a case in a male patient of supraglottic angiolipoma as an unusual cause of odynophagia
RESUMEN
El angiolipoma laríngeo es un tumor benigno e infrecuente a este nivel. Es un tipo de lipoma único, que se localiza en el repliegue aritenoepiglótico, la epiglotis y la región poscricoidea, y suele diagnosticarse tras su exéresis quirúrgica. Suele ser silente hasta que alcanza gran tamaño, ocasionado odinofagia como síntoma más frecuente; de ahí que deba formar parte del diagnóstico diferencial de la odinofagia. Presentamos un caso en un paciente varón de angiolipoma supraglótico, como causa inusual de odinofagia
