Abstract:
Pseudosarcoma of the larynx is a tumor derived as much from connective tissue as from epithelial tissue. There has been much discussion about the malignant nature of the sarcomatous stroma, sometimes considered a benign reaction. However they describe in the literature metastasis cases in which only the sarcomatous element has been demonstrated. We present a case of vocal cord pseudosarcoma in which ten months after performing cordectomy, we can't rule out recurrent disease in spite of the histopathological examination of the cord being negative.
