Abstract
BACKGROUND: Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia (PEH) is a reactive epithelial proliferation occurring secondary to infection, neoplasm, injury, and inflammation. The histopathological characteristics of PEH may lead to it being confused with well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
CASE REPORT: We present here the case of a 57-year-old male patient, who was diabetic and a smoker, who presented with dysphonia. Although nasal endoscopy suggested SCC, morphological and immunophenotypical study of biopsy tissue ruled out malignancy.
CONCLUSIONS: As the prognosis worsened, the patient required several urgent surgical interventions due to bleeding abscesses and dyspnea. A total laryngectomy was performed.
